Abdominoplasty #32007

This patient came in with very typical post pregnancy concerns. What made the procedure a little more complicated was that she has diabetes and is on an insulin pump. Diabetes is well known to impair wound healing and as a surgeon doing elective cosmetic procedures this needs to be carefully considered. How well is the diabetic control? Strict control is very important and often an insulin pump can provide excellent control. Abdominoplasties can be performed safely on diabetics as long as extra care is taken to make sure sugar levels are perfect throughout the process for well controlled, compliant patients.
