Do I need a cardiologist clearance for a mommy makeover? (BA, full tummy tuck with MR)

Hello and thank you for your question. In the absence of a specific cardiac history, you should probably be able proceed without a cardiology clearance. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.
Best wishes and good luck,

Hello and thank you for your question! Since you do not have ongoing cardiological problems or a regular cardiologist, you may not need cardiologist clearance before your surgery. However, every surgeon will have different requirements for this. You will need to ask your surgeon if they would prefer you to have clearance from a cardiologist or a different type of doctor. Be sure to tell them about symptoms and medications related to your cardiological concerns, both past and present. Best of luck!

Thank you for the question. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to specific thoughts but given that you have no cardiac history, it is unlikely that cardiology clearance will be necessary. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
