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?
