Elisi, welcome to the forums. I moved your post to its own thread, so you'll get more responses.

I would think if your blood sugars are well-controlled and your general overall health is otherwise good, you should be able to have any procedure with minimal risks of post-op complications.

If your blood sugars are poorly controlled, you would run the risk of having slower-healing surgical wounds.

I'd suggest checking with your internist, and then requesting consultation with a reputable plastic surgeon. Do make sure both are well-aware of your medical history.
