Answer: Lab work? Hello and thanks. Your plastic surgeon's office should be able to give you orders for the lab and other instructions. You don't need a primary unless additional tests like EKG, etc.. are needed. Best wishes,. Dr. ALDO

Answer: Pre-operative labs Thanks for your inquiry. At age 50 and the surgeries you desire, you should have lab work and an EKG. Your plastic surgeon can perform or order them or he/she may recommend a primary care doctor. Also you could go to a walk-in urgent care center.

Answer: How would I get lab work? You absolutely can have a tummy tuck at age 50, especially given that you are in good health. However, if you don't have a primary care doctor, I would recommend getting one before having the tummy tuck just so you can have a general health exam, which you should be getting at least yearly anyway. Regarding the lab work, if necessary, that can be ordered by your plastic surgeon if you don't have a primary care doctor. Best of luck!

Answer: I don't have a primary doctor so how would I get lab work done for surgery? Your Plastic Surgeon will indicate those Labs for you prior surgery.In my practice Lab Work, Physical Evaluation by an Internal Medicine Specialist, Torax X Rays and EKG are done as part of the evaluations to consider the patient candidate for surgery.Age is not a contraindication for the surgery you desire, your general health and hemoglobin levels are the ones that determine that.
