I recently put a deposit down to have a extended tummy tuck but found out I have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The doctor said his anesthesiologist would not clear me for surgery even if the cardiologist clears me. I’m assume because it needs to be done in a hospital vs their out patient clinic. Does this sound correct or is my dreams of a flat stomach gone?

Answer: Can I have an extended tummy tuck if I have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. As with all medical conditions you would need to seek clearance by your cardiologist prior to any surgery and you may require a hospital stay for safety. Talk to your surgeon further, or one with hospital privileges to get the best answer.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. If you are able to obtain clearance from your cardiologist, then you could safely proceed with surgery in the hospital setting with appropriate cardiac monitoring. 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.
