Do you have to get medical clearance from doctor before surgery?

HailieM
Do you have to get medical clearance from doctor before surgery? How do surgeons know if your healthy enough to with stand a tummy tuck or mommy make over? I plan to stop smoking hookah completely two month before surgery and I had high blood pressure two year ago but I no longer have it or take medication. What do the anesthesiologists look for to confirm your healthy? Do all plastic surgeons use board certified anesthesiologist?
