Mitral Valve Prolapse - Safe to Have a Mommy Makeover?

Mitral valve prolapse is a relatively common cardiac
condition.In the vast majority of
cases, it doesn’t represent a contraindication to Mommy Makeover surgery.Nevertheless,
it’s appropriate to obtain a cardiology consultation prior to surgery.If clearance is given by this specialist,
it’s reasonable to proceed with surgery.Under these circumstances, surgery can be accomplished safely and
provide excellent clinical results.

Thank you for the question.

Mitral valve prolapse is very common and usually not an issue,  especially once you've had it worked up by your internist/cardiologist.

I would not suggest elective surgery that lasts almost 8 hours for a number of reasons related to safety and surgical outcome.

I hope this helps.

A mitral valve prolapse does not mean you heart is in bad condition.  Sometimes the valve has a small leak with little to no decrease in your heart's function.  I would check with you primary care doctor to ask how significant your valve prolapse is.
