What blood work do we need to have a tummy tuck / Brazilian butt lift ???

Question

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

The laboratory tests that you need prior to any surgery are dictated by your medical conditions and the guidelines for outpatient surgery.

Jaime Perez, MD · Answer

Hello, pre op testing depends on the patients age and medical history. I advise my patients over the age of 50 to have complete testing such as EKG, chest xray, labs and medical clearance from their primary doctor. Under the age of 50 lab testing to check your hemoglobin and for anemia. Every surgeon is different. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in the procedures you desire.Jaime Perez M. D.Plastic Surgery Center of Tampa

Robert M. Lowen, MD · Answer

Pre-op lab work depends on patient age and history.  If a healthy woman under 50 is having these procedures with a normal systems review, no history of anemia, then no blood work is needed. If there is a history of heavy periods or pregnancy with anemia, a CBC (or just a hemoglobin and hematocrit) could be done. A pregnancy test is sometimes done if there is any chance of pregnancy at the time of surgery.

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

Pre-operative blood work not only depends upon what surgery is being performed but also the age and overall health of the patient. In addition to your surgeon, your primary care doctor is instrumental in clearing you for surgery. Glad to help.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The surgeon you select should know everything about your past medical and surgical history and be able to make a determination about what labs should be ordered, the need for EKG, the need for medical clearance, the need for anticoagulation, the appropriateness of the surgical intervention based upon the risk factors and current physique, etc.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
