Can a type 1 diabetic get a BBL?

Question

i am interested in getting a BBL procedure. I am a type 1 diabetic and was wondering if i am a good candidate for this procedure. My diabetes is very tightly managed and i maintain a healthy life style and eat well most of the time. My BMI is 24.

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.
