I've been wanting to get a bbl and breast implants but am worried due to the fact that I'm a type 1 diabetic
Answer: Can people with diabetes get plastic surgery? Yes, people with diabetes can have cosmetic surgery. All of my surgical patients have to undergo a preoperative evaluation with their family doctor as well as laboratory testing such as blood and ECG tests to clear them for surgery. You should be able to proceed with surgery if your diabetes in under control, you are relatively healthy and your primary care giver has given clearance for surgery. Seek a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon to discuss your surgical options and express your concerns regarding your diabetes.

Answer: Diabetes and Plastic Surgery Prior to any surgical procedure, cosmetic or otherwise, it is necessary for any patient to obtain medical clearance. This requirement ensures that a patient has been evaluated by their primary care physician and deemed medically stable and/or fit for surgery. Medical clearance typically includes, but is not limited to, blood work, EKG, chest x-ray, mammogram and a letter from your physician stating that you are medically cleared for your procedure. In the case of diabetes, should your physician find you to be medically stable and your diabetes to be under control, there is definitely the possibility for you to undergo an elective cosmetic surgery procedure.
