Is it safe to have lipo of the abdomen after having a cardiac ablation?

Dear Ms. Dawn Howell,Thank you for your questions.I would recommend you obtain a "cardiac clearance" letter from your Cardiologist.Then make several appointments with experienced Plastic Surgeons who listens to your specific desires and who are not only Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery but in addition ideally are a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes, Dr. R. A. Hardesty, MD, FACSDiplomate and Certified by the Am. Bd. of Plastic Surgery

If your cardiologist feels that it is safe then that is your best answer. We commonly do surgery on patients who are now healthy following a heart procedure that has been corrected.

Your cardiologist should give cardiac clearance as an ok to your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist.  Really any disorder of the heart requiring a cardiologists care would also need cardiac clearance before surgery.
