Are there any blood tests I need to get before a lipo or tummy tuck surgery?

Usually a plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist will request blood tests to be performed prior to your surgery.  Every doctor has their own preoperative preparation and will also be based on the patient's medical history.  A CBC is a routine test that is ordered which will provide a platelet count.

Doctors may vary in what they suggest.  Why ask random doctors?  Obviously your doctor will tell you what you need to know.  I don't want to sound snarky; it is just very important that people assiduously follow the recommendations of their own surgeon.

There are some standard blood tests that are requested by most doctors, but these tests should be tailored to the patient and any medical conditions present.

Most Doctors have their preferred protocol, but will perform routine pre-op testing. I recommend following up with your Doctor about their testing. For best results with liposuction, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Most docs get a routine set of preop labs prior to liposuction but it is individualized depending upon your circumstances. Always check with your doc.

Dear 6am6oom,every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients, you will probably need CBC test. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
