Thank you for the question.Typically no cardiac work up is necessary for someone In their 40's with no history of any medical problems and undergoing liposuction. I typically do a thorough history and physical and identify patients at high risk such smokers, diabetic etc... and have them see their internists and cardiologists as necessary.Make sure you are seeing a Board Certifyed Plastic Surgeon for your surgery.Best RegardsNagi T Ayoub MD, FACS
Thank you for your question and photos. For healthy patients over 40, I usually have them get basic lab work and a medical clearance from their doctor. If you are younger and healthy with no cardiac symptoms, there would not usually be a need for an EKG.So, I would not be too concerned about the EKG before liposuction and a fat transfer procedure. However, if your doctor requires it, it is a harmless and easy test. Best of luck to you!
