Can I safely have a Mommy Makeover with sickle cell thalassemia and thombotic thrombocytopenic pupura (TTP)?

Both of these diseases (thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and sickle cell thalassemia) are complex with multiple types that can affect the safety of surgery. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in particular is dangerous and does carry a significant chance of death if you develop it. The first step would be to talk with your hematologist since they should know your specific disease type and discuss the risks of surgery with your conditions and how to best reduce that risk.

Safety is always the number one priority with surgery. You will want to begin by speaking with your hematologist about your interest in having plastic surgery. If given clearance you will then want to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if you are a candidate for the procedure and if so, what extra precautions are necessary.
