I have a chronic disease scleroderma - can I have a plastic surgery especially for my nose? (photos)

Question

I have got a lot of wrinkles around my mouth can I use laser treatments?? Thanks

Jeffrey Watson, MD · Answer

This process and the meds taken for it can affect healing. I would speak with your rheumatologist to see whether he/she thinks your severity as well as the meds you may be on for it are significant enough to affect healing. The issue is that a complication for a purely elective surgery would be very unfortunate. The same would go for lasers. Poor healing could lead to excess scarring.

gulchen,  talk to the physician that is managing your scleroderma; they can give you the best opinion as they know your medical condition the best. Good luck!
