Can a diabetic have cosmetic procedures?

Diabetes increases the risk of complications after surgery but it is not an absolute contraindication to having a cosmetic surgery procedure.  It would be important to involve your family physician, endocrinologist, and plastic surgeon and discuss whether surgery is appropriate for you.  There are multiple issues to consider, such as your long-term blood sugar control, whether you already have diabetes-related health problems, other health problems, the type of operation you are seeking, etc.

If you can receive medical clearance, you can likely have this combination of procedures.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
