What are the medical test and blood work needed from your doctor requirements before having lipo surgery?

We do a comprehensive workup with cardiology evaluation. I suggest you see an expert who does a full workup.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. The labs requiered for surgery will vary from patient to patient. They will depend of factor like your age, medical history, surgical history among others. The most common exams requiered for younger patients without medical record are: Complete Blood Count (CBC), Prothrombin Time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT). Your chosen surgeon would be the person indicated to let you know which ones you will need. you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Don´t settle for less!

Thank you for sharing your question.  If you are an otherwise healthy individual there is no specific blood work needed for liposuction, but you may need to have other exams performed in order to ensure your safety, such as an X-ray or EKG.  Both your surgeon and anesthesiologist can help determine if you need any testing prior to your procedure.
