Lipo and bbl with a negative ANA but systemic scleroderma antibodies

I’m a mom of 2 who has been saving money up for years to get some Lipo and bbl work done. My blood work came back Ana negative but with sick-70 antibodies I have none of the symptoms would it be to dangerous to do this surgery ?

Procedure: Liposuction

You need to discuss your situation with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and have a full workup for scleroderma and auto-immune diseases. After that is completed then your risk factors can be discussed with your Plastic Surgeon and other specialties.

You should do what Dr. Shureih recommends. I totally agree with what he said to you,

Liposuction and bbl are completely elective and should be done with the lowest potential risks. I strongly recommend full work up and potentially rheumatology consult if your PCP thinks it’s necessary first.
