I used to have a heart murmur as a child. As an adult, I don’t. Can I still get a mommy makeover?

Question

As of 21 years of age, no doctor could hear the murmur. I am now 30 and I want a mommy makeover bbl,TT, BL w/augmentation. I’ve had no further heart issues. I am overall healthy and I’ve had two kids. Am I a good candidate for these procedures possibly?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If you are healthy you should be able to undergo a Mommy Makeover.  Your surgeon may request that you receive clearance from a cardiologist just to ensure there is no indication of abnormalities.  I recommend visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation to learn more.

mino.bch.  Many women have benign heart murmurs secondary to so-called mitral valve prolapse and it appears yours has gone away on its own. If there is no history of any medical problems or heart disease, you should have no issue undergoing mommy makeover surgery. However I recommend that you stage your surgery and have the BBL either before or after the mommy makeover. It’s much safer. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Safety should always be the number one priority.  If you are able to obtain medical clearance from your cardiologist, then you may safely proceed forward with a mommy makeover.   This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

It is difficult to say if you are a good candidate for a mommy makeover without pictures, an in person consultation would be best for a detailed exam and evaluation.Always see a board certified PS.

Thank you for your question.  A childhood heart murmur should not disqualify you from having a mommy makeover.  You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see what preoperative clearances you may need.  Your surgeon may have you cleared by a cardiologist prior to proceeding with elective surgery.  Best of luck!
