Hello and thank you for your questions in regards to proceeding with your tummy tuck. Depending on complexity of your surgical case, your procedure could take quite a few hours which means longer time under general anesthesia. Therefore, you need to be in complete and good health prior to having your desired procedure. Only a cardiologist can determine if it's ok to proceed with your procedure. If you aren't already established with a cardiologist, please seek a referral from a board certified plastic surgeon or your medical doctor. Good luck to you as you seek to have the best possibly experience with your cosmetic procedure.

Also, your BMI should be less than 30.Regards and best wishes.Jon A Perlman MD FACSCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryExtreme Makeover Surgeon ABC TVBeverly Hills, Ca
