Answer: Liposuction after heart attack and stents The answer to your question depends on what kind of stents you have. If you have drug-eluting stents you may need to stay on aspirin for the rest of your life. This would make liposuction unsafe. If you have bare metal stents then you may be able to come off aspirin for surgery. I would check with your cardiologist before seeing a plastic surgeon, and if you have had a heart attack within the last year it may be best to wait on any elective surgery. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Medical Clearance Needed Before Liposuction minwin1I appreciate your concern, however you would most certainly need medical clearance from your cardiologist prior to undergoing elective liposuction surgery. Also, while liposuction will certainly decrease bulk and improve contour, Tummytuck may provide a more dramatic result because of your previous pregnancies. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore the best and safest option for you. Good luck.
