Do you have a lipo procedure for someone who has an internal cardiac defibrillator/pacemaker?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Liposuction can be performed on someone with heart history you just need to get cardiac clearance.  I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Erika Sato, MD, FACS · Answer

I am not sure I would personally risk my health if I had cardiac issues requiring a pacemaker for elective liposuction. You might consider awake lipo to avoid the anesthesia. You need to see a board certified PS and make sure they area comfortable after hearing the details of your medical history and examining you. Our #1 goal over anything else is safety and sometimes that means that we have to say no to patients.
