Can I get surgery with possible connective tissue disease? (photos)

Asked By:Swayze2 in Glendale, AZ

I've had three children all via c-section and am done having children. In the last year multiple doctors have suspected I have Ehlers Danlos due to dislocations and Brighton score as well as velvety skin and other signs. Is it safe to have a tummy tuck and breast lift if I'm otherwise healthy (no chronic health issues)? I think the laxity caused by it is making my skin super gross and my neck is even showing signs of aging now (lose skin). Pros and cons?
