Bbl by a board certified surgeon despite having lupus and kidney transplant

Been checking around and 3 out of town facilities wouldn't do a bbl on me. They all said due to lupus. It is well managed with no complications. I want to have a bbl . I hate the way my tummy looks after my kidney transplant 6 years ago. Is there anybody in this big country who is skilled and qualified to work on me????? Very frustrating

Procedure: Body Contouring
Location: Southaven, MS

A kidney transplant and lupus alone may not mean that a tummy tuck, liposuction, or BBL cannot be done. There may be other issues. However, if your transplant doctors and lupus doctor don't have any concerns, then it may be possible.

I have performed many surgeries on patients with underlying medical conditions. I rely on the patients’ primary care doc to direct me. The fact that I do not perform any procedures in office, but rather only in hospitals or an outpatient surgical facility probably allows for this.

My suggestion would to check in with the doctor that is treating your medical conditions, then consult with a board certified plastic surgeon that doesn’t use an in-office operating room
