I have had two pregnancies , would just like liposuction
Answer: Can someone with a heart murmur get liposuction? The short answer is maybe. You will first need to visit your cardiologist to discuss your interest in having liposuction. If given clearance you can then visit a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more about the procedure. Many patients with underlying medical conditions are able to safely have surgery as long as the condition is well controlled.
