Immunosuppressants and tummy tuck?

On immunosuppressants, you risk of infection is higher. Most surgeons will want you to be off Humira for 1-2 weeks prior to surgery and a few days after for better results. You might want to discuss this with your medical doctor.

Each plastic surgeon will have their own preference and protocols in regards to making an assessment and deciding who is or is not an appropriate candidate for cosmetic surgical procedures.
In the situation like your own it would be very likely that the surgeon would request your rheumatologist or gastroenterologist to give medical clearance and have the prescribing physician Manager medication.
Plastic surgeons are not trained in the complexities of immunosuppressive drugs for gastroenterological conditions.
Some providers may prefer not to do the surgery and others may be willing to do it.
Ideally, this should be a team effort and you need the insight of both your prescribing physician and the plastic surgeon.
You also need to confirm that you’re a good candidate for a tummy tuck in the first place.
I suggest scheduling a few in person consultation and scheduling a visit with your prescribing physician to discuss your desire to have a tummy tuck.
