Cosmetic Surgery with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma (low grade)

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and Non Hodgkins Lymphoma at the same time in December 2000.  I am six years out on the Breast Cancer but will always have the Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.  I would like to have a Neck Lift and Breast Lift.  Is it safe with my past diagnosis'?  I am 63 years old and in good health otherwise.  I feel and live much younger than my years and would like to feel better about myself.   Thank you, Tulsagal

As long as you are not on any current chemotherapeurtic agents, have no bleeding problems, and have the approval of your oncologist, I see no reason why you could not undergo elective cosmetic surgery.
