I have vitiligo (in about 50% of my face and 20% of my body). I am planning on having a mommy makeover, tummy tuck and breast augmentation.
Answer: Mommy Makeover with Vitiligo Thank you for your question. You should talk to your Dermatologist regarding your condition and proposed surgery, as any trauma can have an effect on your skin condition. That having been said, I have operated on several patients with stable Vitiligo and have not seen it get worse, with routine cosmetic procedures.

Answer: Will the trauma from the my mommy makeover make my vitiligo worse? It is difficult to predict how the trauma from surgery will impact the progression of your vitiligo. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with both your treating dermatologist as well as your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Will the trauma from the my mommy makeover make my vitiligo worse? Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately there is no way to predict how vitiligo will respond to an "injury" such as that with a mommy makeover. It would have to be a discussion with your surgeon and dermatologist but in most cases vitiligo spreads slowly, and continuously, with time, and surgery can exacerbate it.

Answer: Will the trauma from the my mommy makeover make my vitiligo worse? Hello, thank you for your question. I am sorry you have vitiligo, it is as you probably know, usually an autoimmune disease, It is hard to predict its spread. You should first talk to your treating dermatologist about any concerns he/she may have about the interaction of your vitiligo with your surgery.
