I have wolf-Parkinson's-white syndrome. Is it safe to do tt, lipo & bbl? I've been advised to do an ablation for the wpw (Photo)

Question

I'm 39' Ive had a c section. 1 child. 1 gastric sleeve. Never knew I had wpw during these operations. Now want to do a tt. Lipo and bbl. is it more dangerous than my previous 2 procedures? Do I need to do an ablation and wait some months before surgery or is the 24hr rest period ok? I live in the USA and vacation in Dominican Republic Thanks!

Hello, before considering any elective procedure I would recommend having the treatment recommended by your cardiologist and ensure they clear you for surgery first.  It is very important to discuss these medical issues with your PS so they can determine if surgery is appropriate.  They may also take steps to monitor you more closely afterward, for example in a hospital setting rather than outpatient clinic.

Medical tourism has becoming increasingly popular in recent years; patients  have been flying out of the U.S. for plastic surgery, lured by lower prices. 
However, a parallel trend has also appeared: plastic surgeons in the United  States are finding themselves treating an increasing number of patients who  plastic surgery abroad, correcting complications and errors. A survey by the  American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that 80% of the responding doctors  had treated American medical tourists for complications including infection,  contour abnormalities, and hematoma. Medical tourists are often led to believe that they will receive the same  quality of care for a lower price in a foreign clinic. But while it is true that  the cost of plastic surgery in some foreign countries is lower, this is often  because the quality of care and surgery is compromised. Such patients also seem  to neglect the possibility of complications and the need for a follow-up  visit. A number of patients have died in Dominican Republic for example following cosmetic procedures. In addition to the risks posed by sub-standard medical care abroad, medical  tourists must consider the risks of injections and implants in other countries.  The recent crisis with French breast implant maker Poly Implant Prothese (PIP)  exemplifies this problem. PIP used industrial- rather than medical-grade  silicone on their implants in an effort to reduce costs, a measure which  probably increased the danger of rupture. PIP implants have not been used in the  United States since 2000. Removal of these implants has been recommended by the  International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. It is often the case that medical tourists end up spending more  money because they have to pay to treat complications from their overseas  surgery.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction with a BBL and a tummy tuck, to give you a nice tight tummy and to get rid of the extra skin, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your waist, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful heart shape, along with the tummy tuck.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
Please talk to your primary doctor 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 :)
