Can a type 1 diabetic get a BBL?

Thank you for your question! Yes, it is possible to have surgery as a type 1 diabetic. However, it is important that you are medically cleared by your primary care provider or overseeing physician prior to surgery. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing the necessary clearances needed for you. Best of luck!

Before considering plastic surgery, you will need a full current workup by you endocrinologist or PCP who is managing your diabetes. If your blood sugars are well controlled and you are otherwise healthy, you can receive medical clearance for the procedure.  Select a board certified plastic surgeon who will provide the correct postoperative guidelines to prevent compromising the results of the BBL.

Dear fefexo,
as long as your diabetes is under control, you can be a candidate for a 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.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Please talk to your endocrinologist to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Having diabetes in itself is not an issue and does not cause any significant increase risk with surgical procedures. Having a long history of poorly controlled blood sugar on the other hand does lead to tissue damage in particular vascular injuries was people had increased risk for having potentially life-threatening complications that can be correlated with elective surgery.
From what you describe assessing if you're a good candidate based on aesthetic criteria is probably more important than your diabetes in regards to making a decision if this is a good procedure for you.
As a general statement someone who is a great candidate for a BBL is both a good candidate for fat transfer and liposuction. Great candidates tend to have tight skin, moderate amounts of excess fat in undesirable areas could benefit from gluteal volume.  People who have skin laxity, muscle separation from previous pregnancies, excess intra-abdominal fat, very low BMI or obesity above 200 pounds tend to not do well with this procedure.
Talk to your primary care doctor about your diabetes and elective surgery. Your plastic surgeon may want a medical clearance from your primary care doctor or an internist.
Having diabetes isn't necessarily a problem but poorly controlled diabetes is a very big problem that has severe implications.

If your Diabetes is well managed and you are cleared by your internist for surgery, you should be able to undergo a BBL. Good luck!
