Is it dangerous to have plastic surgery if I have ventricular tachycardia? Or does it put me in a higher risk?

Question

I have been diagnosed with NSVT (nonsustained ventricular tachycardia) they still don't know what is causing it and I'm on 100mg of Metoprolol. Will this put me at higher risk if I have plastic surgery? I would want to get lipo on my stomach or a BBL

Hello, thank you for your question. You will need to get cardiac clearance prior to undergoing the procedure. I would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as before and after photos on that surgeon's website. Best of luck!

Dear elinmat2,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!! 
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Please talk to your cardiologist to get clearance for plastic surgery and then I suggest you book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals. 
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Hello. The answer or my recommendation is to not undergo lipo and BBL withh your condition. Of course it increases your risks.
