I want to get a tummy tuck and breast lift, have a prolapse of the mitral valve, and during my c section my blood pressure went down due to the anesthesia, they said I almost had heart failure, is it possible that I could get plastic surgery?

Answer: Mitral valve prolapse and tummy tuck Dear lizette1228,as long as you get a clearance from your cardiologist, you should be able to get a tummy tuck surgery. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: I have a prolapse of the mitral valve, could I get a tummy tuck and breast lift? Yes, it is likely that you will be able to proceed, assuming you are able to receive "clearance" from your internist or cardiologist. In other words, these doctors would evaluate you medically and determine whether or not it will be safe for you to proceed with elective surgery. Best wishes.
