Even though my RPR is 1:8 and showing still positive, will I be safe to get my surgery since I’ve been treated?

Question

Ex cheated on me. Found out I had syphilis. Starting titer was 1:34. 6 months later RPR is now 1:8. I planned on getting liposuction and bbl at the end of next month. Even though my RPR is 1:8 and showing still positive, will I be safe to get my surgery since I’ve been treated ? My dr said it should be fine and she would clear me for surgery but to hear it from another doctor would really put my mind at ease as I really would like this surgery!

Dear Lina Dobrev,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Best to obtain a full written medical clearance fir surgery from your primary doctor before any surgeon would operate upon you.

I think you’ll have to ask each individual plastic surgery how they feel about it. Don’t expect plastic surgeons to be versed in infectious disease so probably most will ask you to get clearance from an infectious disease doctor or internist if they feel it’s an issue.
Your question is pretty far outside the field of plastic surgery.
Best,
