Answer: My recommendation Hello darling, Every doctor has different procedures pre-op. In my case, I only receive tests made in the clinic I work in, just to make sure the results are 100% verified and you are totally ready to get the surgery. Talk with your board certified plastic surgeon to check how he proceeds. Hope this help and good luck! Dr. Luis Mejia.

Answer: I need to take a blood test before BBL surgery. Are there some things I can take prior to help me pass the test? The PS you select should know everything about your past medical and surgical history and be able to make a determination about what labs should be ordered. Routine labs do not need to be performed unless elements of your history or physical suggest their appropriateness. Despite this, surgeons continue to order CBC, Chemistry, and PT/PTT routinely. A urine pregnancy test should be considered in all women of childbearing age. EKG may be ordered for the elderly or for those with a history of cardiopulmonary disease. Wait until you see the results of your lab work to determine if values need to be adjusted.

Answer: LUCK Good morning, these tests are requested by your doctor to prevent possible complications. I suggest that you do your normal exams in order to obtain your results in the best possible way and within the health standards necessary to undergo a surgical procedure.

Answer: Studying for tests Medically order tests are not like tests you had at school that you study for. Your doctor is trying to find out information that could potentially put you at risk for surgery and prevent those things before doing an elective procedure. You’re not trying to see who has the best test results they’re trying to make sure you don’t have some underlying medical condition that would prevent you from recovering in a safe manner. The goal is to see where your blood and urine levels are without interference. That is quite a smattering of tests considering I don’t order any tests other than a pregnancy test before this procedure on young healthy people. I suggest following up with your provider if you have questions about the tests they ordered. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
