Perfect BMI & great health, will a doctor perform the Vaser Lipo if I am Hep C positive?

Hello Reliable153137,
Provided that your liver function is normal and your hepatitis C is being cared for by an appropriate physician, there is no reason that you cannot safely undergo liposuction since you are healthy otherwise. In surgery, we encounter patients with conditions that can be transmitted via exposure all of the time. As part of our surgical training we are taught to maintain strict safety procedures will all sharp instruments on every patient. Your surgery will be no different except for event more attention to passing the 'sharps' during the procedure.
Best of luck!

Thank you for your question regarding Vaser liposuction and hepatitis C.

Being Hepatitis C positive does not automatically disqualify you from undergoing Vaser liposuction, especially since you mention being in excellent health with a perfect BMI. Many plastic surgeons are experienced in working with patients who have underlying conditions like hepatitis C, provided that the condition is well-managed and does not interfere with your overall health and healing capacity.

However, your plastic surgeon will likely want to ensure your liver function is stable since Hepatitis C can affect the liver. You may need to provide recent bloodwork and undergo a thorough evaluation with your primary care physician or hepatologist to ensure you’re healthy enough for surgery. As long as you are in good health and there are no complications from your condition, most plastic surgeons would proceed with the procedure, taking necessary precautions.

During your consultation, be open about your Hepatitis C status and bring all relevant medical information to help your surgeon assess your individual situation.

Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

You must call your surgeon ASAP because the surgeon should make the decision or talk to your primary care in infectious disease doctor most likely I would cancel your surgery unless unless I had a full written medical clearance from an infectious disease doctor. Good luck.
