I am currently on Xeljanz and Plaquenil for Rheumatoid Arthritis. I want to get lipo on my full abdomen, flanks, bra back, upper thighs and fat transfer to my buttocks. Is it safe for me to have lipo and how long should I be off my medications before I have surgery? Also are stem cell injections safe?
