While taking rituximab infusions twice a year for multiple sclerosis can i still get body contouring far as (breast augmentation, laser lipo) and tattoos? or will these treatments negatively affect the healing process?

I would ask Physician about your concerns. The procedures that you would like do have some discomfort associated with them. Find out when is the best time to have procedures, so there won’t be any “conflict” with infusion procedure.

Although the effect of rituximab can be either immuno-modulating or even immuno-suppressive, this would not be a contraindication for plastic surgery or tattoos. Yet, if an infection complicated the procedure, healing might be compromised. Prior to the described events, discuss potential complications under the circumstances,
