Is pre-op blood work necessary for Tummy Tuck and Lipo?

Thank you for your question. If the patient is in good health and young with no family history of illness my practice doe not typically require medical clearance. However, this is best to be discussed with your board certified plastic surgeon who may require

Practices will vary.  In our practice, pre-op blood work depends on your age and health status (medical history).  At the very least, a hemoglobin and pregnancy test is useful for most of our patients.  Personally, I think that the hemoglobin level provides important information prior to proceeding with your planned procedures.For older patients (or those with specific medical problems where extensive blood /EKG workup is indicated) a medical clearance from a primary care doctor or specialist (depending on patient medical history) may be necessary.
Best wishes.

Depending on the local medical regulations each doctors has it own preference. 
Generally we perform complete blood count (CBC) and pregnancy test on Liposuction and Tummy tuck patients.
