Seeking medical advice on any known risks for patients diagnosed with MGUS. Are there any certified surgeons that have performed Lipo/BBL procedures on patients with precursory diagnosis. I am currently not receiving treatment nor taking medication. I have my levels checked quarterly and no changes. Seeking recommendations and willing to travel.

Answer: Bone marrow disorders You’re going to need clearance from a hematologist and plastic surgeons may or may not feel comfortable doing the procedure. If the disorder has not cost any significant disease or symptoms then you might be fine for the procedure the plastic surgeons get to make their own decisions about who they feel comfortable operating on. Looking for a plastic surgeon who treated a patient with the same disorder isn’t probably as wise as simply finding the most talented plastic surgeons and letting your hematologist manage your MUGS. When it comes to that disorder the plastic surgeon isn’t going to get involved at all. Look for the most talented experienced plastic surgeon in your community and check if they’re willing to do the procedure if you get medical clearance. I recommend having in person consultations at which time you can get an accurate assessment and good understanding of what can or cannot be achieved as well as a discussion about your medical history. Traveling long distances for elective procedures is not something I recommend unless absolutely necessary. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
