Will Low Blood Pressure Affect Tummy Tuck Surgery or Recovery?

LME
I am told that I have low blood pressure. According to my doctor, as long as I feel good and I'm not overly tired, this can be ok. My concern is that it might have an affect on a tummy tuck I have been considering. Will it cause slow wound healing, poor blood flow, etc?
