Is breast lift, tummy tuck and liposuction contraindicated if I have psoriasis?

August 2, 2017
Asked By:Smarmygrl in Tempe, AZ

I have psoriasis that has previously affected my scalp, nipples, axillae, vaginal labia, and oral commissures. The psoriasis was late adult onset and has gone into remission with Humira (40mg every 2 weeks) and has been in remission for a year. I would like to have a breast lift, tummy tuck and liposuction. Will the surgery cause the psoriasis to flair or will there be issues with healing?
