If you are diagnosed with HPV can you still have a BBL and tummy tuck done? (photos)

HPV by itself will not prevent you from having surgery.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CABoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

hello, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. yes you can have the procedure done. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. 

HPV is a very common virus that is sexually transmitted but supposedly if you have had at least 5 sexual partners in your life, you carry the virus. Some versions of the virus cause warts and other cause cervical cancer. You just need to make sure that all of that is under control and that you follow your OBGYN's recommendations for the HPV. This should not affect a BBL/TT. 

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Yes, it is absolutely possible to have a BBL, even if you have have HPV.  It is estimated that over 70% of US adults are positive for some type of HPV.  It is essential that you have an in-person consultation to develop a treatment plan that specifically addresses your personal surgical goals, and your body’s particular anatomy. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help refine this plan. It is essential that you find a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of patients with similar anatomy who have had similar procedures. If you have any questions, we are happy to help. Good luck!
Best,
