I have already discussed this with my cardioloigist and he said he would have no problem approving me for a tummy tuck. I am on beta blockers daily to control my svt. With the ok from my cardiologist would that be enough for most doctors? Or is there anything else I need to do? I am very good health overall besides my heart issues.

Answer: Cardiology clearance Hello and thank you for your question. You have done exactly what you are supposed to do--obtain cardiology clearance. I would recommend asking your cardiologist for a letter of clearance also. Then I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
