I've had a liver biopsy that came back free of scarring or inflammation and as a result of that, I was told I'm not a likely candidate for treatment.

Before surgery with hepatitis C, you should be medically stable and have a clearance for surgery from your primary care doctor and Hepatologist.You should have the procedure done by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that has experience in combined procedures.Yours,Jon M.

Answer: Patients with hepatitis C can have an abdominoplasty if liver function is stable. There are several considerations in a patient with hepatitis C. One is the health of the liver and the other is the transmissibility of the disease. If your surgeon and gastroenterologist think that the operation will be safe than you can proceed.

Answer: Can I have a tummy tuck & liposuction with hepatitis C? Thank you for the question. Best to check with your gastroenterologist/hepatologist; it is probable, after their “clearance” has been provided that you will be able to proceed. When the time is right, seek consultation with board certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. It will be important for you to make sure that your anesthesiologist is aware of the condition as well. Best wishes.

Answer: Can I have a tummy tuck & liposuction with hepatitis C? It is possible, if you have normal liver function and if your Liver Specialist gives you medical clearance. Just be sure your surgeon is aware of the problem also.
