HIV + undetected- physician given all clear, wanting to do a mommy makeover. BMI 31, no other health issues!

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your decision to pursue a mommy makeover.  I would recommend researching a number of ASPS board certified plastic surgeons in order to maximize your results.  I am attaching a link below that should help you identify some in the DR and Colombia.  Even if you have evaluated the risks of medical tourism I would strongly recommend finding a local surgeon willing to see you in the case of any healing issues.  Best wishes.

If you are healthy and without other medical issues, you can likely proceed with a mommy makeover.Kenneth Hughes, MD

Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Mommy makeover and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.Many surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most accurate quote possible. Please be mindful that the in person physical exam is the most important and could potentially alter your treatment plan.The recommended BMI is less than 30. This is the recommendation of the American society of plastic surgery. The reason simply, is increased chance of complications. These include but limited to, pulmonary embolus, deep venous thrombosis, delayed wound healing and increase infection rate.

So long as your counts are adequate, we have no problem doing surgery on otherwise healthy HIV+ patients. Seems like your best bet is reaching out as you have and also simply contacting doctors in your area and asking. Good luck!
