Can a diabetic have butt augmentation procedure?

Thank you for your question.Yes!  As long as your diabetes is well-controlled, I do not see a reason that would prevent you from having the surgery.  If your diabetes is not well-controlled, you are at a greater risk for infection and wound problems.  Having said that, you may want to talk with your plastic surgeon about placing the implant inside the buttock muscle (as opposed to on top of the muscle), as this would provide an extra layer of protection for the implant if you did have some minor wound problems.

Thank you for your question.As long as you are following protocol for watching your sugar and it is under control, you will be fine.  If you are an uncontrolled diabetic, then no I would suggest holding off on surgery until you have a stable A1C.  The reason being, uncontrolled diabetes can lead to problems with wound healing which then increases your risk for infection. Good luck with your decision.

Any elective procedure can be considered in diabetic patients who has blood sugar under control, a reasonable Hemoglobin A1c, and the blessing of their physician diabetes manager. Diabetics should pick their battles, however and consider the greater risk of infection. Butt implants (foreign body) pose the greatest risk for diabetics.  Fat grafting is a little safer but can have major complications. Good Luck.
