As long as your condition is under adequate control and there are no other specific contra-indications, most Plastic Surgeons would be comfortable with the performance of a Tummy Tuck on diabetic patients.

I perform over 80 TT per year in my practice. I have always performed these at a surgical center or hospital for safety purposes. Diabetes has never prevented me from performing any procedure. I obviously work closely with the anesthesia team as well as the primary care physician.

I would check with your the board certified surgeons in your area to see what their protocol would be for a patient such as yourself

Thank you for sharing your question. Assuming your DM is under good control, most plastic surgeons would perform the procedure for you.
