Answer: Safety comes first with a heart condtion Any surgery, whether with anesthesia or not (and at 120 minutes, my expectation is that sedation, not straight local, would be involved) should be secondary to safety. Medical clearance would be required from your cardiologist for any procedure, whether elective or medically necessary. You should discuss this with your cardiologist and obtain his approval prior to considering liposuction. I am sure that he will want to work you up in detail before making a decision. The procedure should be performed, if approved, in an accredited facility with a board certified anesthesiologist.
