Can people with diabetes get plastic surgery?

Most Diabetics can have plastic surgery safely. To minimize risks, you, your  diabetic doctor along with your plastic surgeon need to make sure that your diabetes is under good control before and after the procedure. Although some complications may be increased, such as infection, the odds are generally in your favor that you will do OK

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.
