Answer: Tummy tuck I agree with you that undergoing this surgery in the hospital setting would be recommended. You also would be well advised to investigate the cause of your anemia and have it corrected prior to surgery. Best wishes, Dr. T.

Answer: Tummy tuck clearance Dear Joory, Paroxismal supra ventricular tachicardia is not a contra indication for surgery as long as it is under control and your cardiologist clears you for surgery. It can be done in a hospital or accredited surgery center. Your anemia might play a role in provoking your PSVT, so you should have your internist investigate the reason for the anemia. If it is due to your periods, than Iron pills should bring your hemoglobin to normal level. You BMI is high (30) and your ideal weight is 140 pounds, but , if your stomach is flat when you lie on your back, you are a good candidate for surgery. More over, tummy tuck can help you lose weight due to the tightening of abdominal muscles which will reduce the amount of food that you can eat and your sense of hunger. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with flat stomach, low scar and nice belly button. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Tummy tuck safety with a cardiac issue. Thanks for your question. With your cardiac issues and anemia it is important that all involved make sure the risk of your surgery is low. It is important that your surgeon, cardiologist, anesthetist and even your internist are all on the same page. You will likely require a cardiac clearance and depending on the risk your surgeon can decide where ( and if) it is reasonable to perform your surgery. It would be good if your blood count were corrected before surgery as well. A board certified plastic surgeon will and should help to send you down the safest path.
