Answer: Heart conditions and plastic surgery Bradycardia is simply a relatively slow heart rate. Many patients with bradycardia are extremely healthy and the condition can be a sign that the heart is extremely efficient at pumping blood to the rest of the body. But there are times when a bradycardia condition can indicate that the heart is not functioning properly. You may need to have a cardiologist evaluation to know for certain if you are at any increased risk with surgery. Following a vegan diet can be very healthy. But it also can make it difficult to maintain the proper level of protein needed to heal large surgical wounds. I would recommend getting a complete evaluation of your protein levels before having a tummy tuck surgery. This would include checking an albumin, prealbumin, and any other tests suggested by your surgeon.

Answer: Is a person with Bradycardia at risk of having plastic surgery(mommy makeover)? Thank you for the question. Bradycardia, in and of itself, is not a contraindication to proceeding with “mommy makeover surgery”. On the contrary, in most cases, the bradycardia is a physiologic sign of a very healthy/active person. Occasionally, bradycardia may be a sign of an underlying cardiac condition; therefore, best to be seen by your internist or a cardiologist for “clearance” prior to proceeding. Again, it is most likely that you will be able to proceed.
