How much is a cardiologist clearance for pre-op BBL Surgery?

Question

I got a medical clearance done with EKG and blood work. And they told me everything was fine but that they think I should get a cardiologist clearance before surgery. My surgery date is in less than 3 weeks.

The PS who indicated that you need medical clearance from a cardiologist prior to your BBL will have a list of cardiologists to whom his/her office refers.  Ask the patient coordinator to provide the point of contact information for you to determine the costs as they vary by cardiologist.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

it's not clear from your posting if your plastic surgeon or your Internet is requesting a cardiologist to give clearance. I would imagine you must have some underlying cardiology issues or be at risk for cardiac disease. If this is the case then you should follow the recommended protocol and get a cardiology clearance. If you have medical insurance then there's a high likelihood your insurance would pay for a cardiology consultation.  The consultation could include clearance if your cardiologist feels you are an appropriate candidate for elective cosmetic surgery.  We cannot predict the level of consultation or billing rates for other doctors. You'll have to ask the cardiologist what their fees are if you're paying for this yourself.  Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
