Can I still have a MMO with an abnormal EKG?

The fact that your surgeon went ahead to do your surgery knowing that your EKG was abnormal, probably means that you are OK for mommy makeover.  However, conditions do change, and it is imperative that you have to be evaluated by a cardiologist who can decide whether you can have the surgery. 
Best wishes.

There may be any number of reasons for EKG abnormalities which would not preclude plastic surgery including a Mommy Makeover.  Medical clearance by a cardiologist would, of course, be required as your safety is the primary concern of every qualified plastic surgeon!

congratulations on your weight loss.  At this point, you understand the importance of having a detailed in office examination and history evaluation by your plastic surgeon.  Learning a patients history of medical issues, evaluating their physical needs, and discussing a patients goals are paramount in the planning process.  It is not uncommon for patients to have EKG or electrolyte abnormalities during their  weight loss journey.  Many times, these abnormalities correct themselves with improved health during weight loss.  The first step is determining what concerns you have (excess skin, contour abnormailities) and what your goals are with surgery.  Have a discussion with your surgeon, get an examination, and have him/her give you an opinion on what the best surgical options are for you.  Then, the next step will be to determine if you are medically cleared by your physician.best of luckJohn Renucci MD

This decision would have to be made between your plastic surgeon and a cardiologist. Much more information would be required before making such an important decision. Probably, in most cases, it would not prohibit you from having surgery in a safe fashion.

Thanks for your inquiry and excellent question, it is best you see your primary care doctor and get medical clearance. If he/she feels you need to see a cardiologist, then it will be recommended.  EKGs can show the current status of your heart and also a record of issues with your heart in the past that may no longer be a problem.  In addition,  people can have "normal" variants of patterns on an EKG.  In summary,  you could still be an excellent candidate for a mommy makeover, good luck. 

Hello and thank you for your question. It sounds like you are healthy otherwise and should be able to  have the mommy makeover procedure. Your plastic surgeon will likely ask for a clearance letter from your primary care physician or cardiologist. Best,

Hello. Great question. Congratulations on your weight loss. A medical clearance from your primary physician will be needed in order to move forward. Please schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results. 

Dear yatta873,
It is hard to tell for sure without an examination but you will most likely need to get a clearance from your doctor. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

You will need to get clearance from your cardiologist and your board certified plastic surgeon in order to have a safe surgery. Continue with your exercise and healthy eating program and try to get as close to your goal weight as possible. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Depending on the EKG findings you would need to be cleared by your cardiologist in order to pursue a mommy makeover.  I would continue your current weight loss while interviewing physicians to start the process.  Hope this helps.
