If there is no organ damage or organ repercussion from the hepatitis C, the procedure could be considered.
Hello and Great Question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation SpecialisHaving Hepatitis C does not prevent you from having a BBL as long as your overall health is good. A BBL would consist of lipo 360 and a fat transfer to your hips/butt giving you more of an hourglass figure. I would definitely recommend doing an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and who can suggest what is needed. I hope that helps! Best of Luck! Matthew J. Nykiel MD
Hello! Thank you for your question. Patients with Hepatits C could have plastic surgery done, however I don't recommend it. Surgery (of any kind) implies some level of stress and trauma to the body, even in completely healthy patients complications can occur. Your health and well being will always be a priority, and because plastic surgery is elective, if you already have a chronic medical condition I wouldn't recommend going through surgery.
Such a chronic infection is not a contraindication for elective surgery like BBL providing that you are in overall good health. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and evaluation by your PCP and/or ID specialist will help. Good luck.
Dear Glorious4239,Hepatitis C is not a contraindication for surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
You can certainly have an aesthetic plastic surgery procedure if you had hepatitis C, but if you are still in an acute phase of the disease of course not.
Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Your condition does not prevent you from having plastic surgery now, if you are overall in good health. In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.Good luck :)
A history of Hepatitis C does not affect your candidacy for a cosmetic surgery. Just make sure you discuss it with your plastic surgeon and ensure that he or she works you up for pre-operative clearance with your primary care physician.If you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully,Arian Mowlavi MD,FACSRealself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
Hepatitis C is one of the most contagious blood borne diseases known.Some plastic surgeons will not perform cosmetic surgery and people with hepatitis C for this reason. I believe most plastic surgeons would as long as your liver function is good.I’m going to assume you’ve looked into the latest medical treatment options for hepatitis C which can be curative.I believe it’s considered a disability violation to exclude someone from elective surgery based on the rest of transmission of the disease to the surgeon. I know this has been the case for HIV. I would assume hepatitis would be the same.I would start off by talking to your primary care doctor or hepatologist/gastroenterologist if you have one.It would also make sense to confirm that you’re a good candidate for a BBL in the first place.Best, Matts Hagstrom MD

Dear lucy167, generally speaking, menopause is not a contraindication for a surgery. Regarding the therapy, every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Daniel Barrett, MD
