Mitral Valve Prolapse - Safe to Have a Mommy Makeover?

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.

Thank you for your question.  With mitral valve prolapse, you'll need clearance from your internist or cardiologist before any surgical procedures.  After you get this clearance, make sure your anesthesiologist knows what is going on as well to prevent any sudden cancellations before your surgery.  However, once you get the "green light" from your surgery you should be just fine.  Good luck!
