Hashimoto’s disease by itself does not automatically rule out Botox, fillers, liposuction, or a BBL, but untreated or poorly controlled hypothyroidism can make elective procedures less safe. The key issue is whether your thyroid levels are stable on treatment and whether your endocrinologist or primary doctor considers you medically optimized.

Botox and fillers are usually much lower physiologic stress than surgery, but they should still be done when symptoms and thyroid labs are controlled and with your injector aware of your diagnosis and medications. Liposuction and BBL require a higher level of clearance because anesthesia, fluid shifts, wound healing, blood clot risk, and overall recovery are involved.

Before elective surgery, ask for review of your TSH/free T4, a medication plan for surgery day, and medical clearance. If your labs are abnormal or you have active symptoms, it is safer to postpone until controlled. For BBL specifically, choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who follows current safety guidance for gluteal fat grafting and performs a careful overall risk assessment.

Dear Gregarious452350,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. As long as your medical conditions are under controlled, you should be able to get elective procedures. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, individuals with Hashimoto's disease can still undergo treatments like filler, Botox, and Brazilian butt lifts, but it's essential to consult your doctor beforehand.

Once thyroid levels are stable with supplements and you have clearance from your endocrinologist. You should be fine to have cosmetic surgery.
For fillers and Botox, your provider may not be as selective but for surgical procedures you definitely need to have your thyroid levels corrected and be stable.
Ask your providers.
Best,

I know you would like a definitive answer you your question, but unfortunately, the answer is maybe. It's often possible to do so, but first you will need to make sure your thyroid issue is well-controlled. Even when your thyroid is doing well, Hashimoto’s can slow your healing and increase the risk of an allergic reaction to fillers and Botox. A plastic surgeon will likely be willing to perform a BBL or provide you with Botox and fillers, but only if and when your endocrinologist gives you the all clear.
