Can I be a candidate for Mommy makeover if i have an auto immune disorder?

If your autoimmune disorder is well controlled and you are otherwise a candidate, you still may be able to have a Mommy Makeover. The best place to begin is a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. During this important meeting you will discuss your medical history and any medications that you take. Your surgeon may request for you to receive clearance from your rheumatologist before proceeding with surgery.

Thank you for your question.#autoimmune disorders have a wide range of severity.  It is not necessarily a final deterrent for having a #mommymakeover, but it will put you at risk for more #complications.  I would need more information on your specific disorder and how it affects your body.Please have an in-person consultation with a #boardcertified plastic surgeon for more details.

You would require clearance from your primary care physician or rheumatologist prior to having any elective surgery. Your plastic surgeon can consult with your specialists to be sure you will be ok with surgery.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

I appreciate your question.





You would first need to be cleared for elective surgery by both your primary care doctor as well as the specialist that is treating you for your autoimmune disorder prior to moving forward.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.





Best of luck!

The most important is to get a full clearance from your primary physician in this matter. He will also need top state any type of limitations during procedure and the post op process. Best of luck
