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.
