What pre-op tests are required before a tummy tuck/lipo?

Preoperative labs and other studies are individualized for each patient.  Healthy patients without any increased medical risks do not typically need preoperative labs.

If you are in good cardiovascular health and are on no medications preoperative labs before and abdominoplasty are probably not necessary.

It is common to not need any blood work done before a cosmetic procedure.  Many surgeons have chosen to opt out of preoperative lab tests because research by the American Board of Anethesiologists found that for young healthy patients that preoperative lab tests do not add safety to the procedure.  If you are older or have additional medical issues then lab testing may be performed.  Always be sure that you are seeing a surgeon that is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeon for the best outcomes.

For years studies have shown there is no benefit to getting unnecessary lab evaluations prior to elective surgery in healthy patients. We do not do lab work in healthy patients under 60.
