Ive had a double mastectomy with 4 plastic surgeries to follow. Also have had 11 facial surgeries due to a wreck all while having lupus. It didnt affect any of them or the outcome. You will more than likely have yo be off your meds for awhile that was the hardest part for me.

I had the gastric sleeve .when I first was diagnosed with lupus I went on steroids so I gain alot of weight but I had to stay off my meds for a few weeks I had pain but my son introduced me to marijuana and that help alot with the pain but now since I lost over 100 pounds I feel good but I also had a tummy tuck so any surgery you have if your on steroids you will have to be off for a few weeks

I love my eyebrows too! It's great to have in case you're having achy joints and don't want to do make-up. This me after swimming. My eyebrows have been microbladed for 1 year and a half.

I also recently got my tubes tied. My eyebrows are microbladed too. I've had several things done since being diagnosed with lupus. I've never had a problem, nor have I needed to stop my medicine.

Since Lupus predisposes us to more infections, I would think twice about getting the surgery. Take care!
