Can I Do Liposuction Even Though I Have Lupus?

The decision to proceed with liposuction in the patient with lupus is at the discretion of the surgeon and the immunologist.

 Thank you for the question and pictures. Well-controlled rheumatologic disease should not be a contraindication to liposuction surgery in most cases. Run this question by your rheumatologist;  it will be helpful to your plastic surgeon to have “clearance” prior to proceeding.

 Best wishes.

After examination and discussion with your primary physician. It is possible to undergo liposuction and it may be wise to undergo small area liposuction first to see how you tolerate the procedure prior to engaging to any larger procedure. You need to have medical clearance by your treating doctors/rheumatologist.
