I just got back from a physical with my doctor (not MM related), and he told me I've developed a heart murmur. Next week, I have to go in for a ecocolordoppler cardiaca and an ECG (I don't know what these are in English!). Will having developed this affect me being able to safely have my surgery? It's scheduled for August.

Answer: Heart murmur with mommy makeover Heart murmurs are frequently asymptomatic but you should follow through with your testing to be sure that you can proceed with your mommy makeover. The results of your tests will be evaluated by the cardiologist and your plastic surgeon will make the final decision regarding safety and surgery.Best of luck,

Answer: Heart murmur and elective surgery Most heart murmurs are benign, but there is always a chance that yours could be more significant. The Echocardiogram test that you will be getting will give you the information that you need. Your cardiologist will need to clear you for your surgery after you have completed your workup tests. There is no way to advise you about your condition without knowing the specifics of your echocardiogram results.
