Are blood tests needed before neck and or chin lipo?

In my practice I perform chin lipo under local anesthesia and oral sedation in an accredited surgery center this can also be done in the office setting.  Under these methods typically blood work, ekg is not required.  If done under iv sedation blood tests are typically required. 

Typically you don't need to have any blood tests prior to surgery if you are healthy and don't take any medications.  If  you are unhealthy, take medications which will affect your blood chemistries then  you should have blood work. 

Dear Patient: if your're healthy and younger than 50 you don't need to have a blood panel. Make sure you consult and choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to perform these procedures! Hope this helps

Thank you for your question. Blood work is not necessary before neck or chin lipo is performed. However please make sure you get a in person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist. 

As long as the patient is in excellent health, no blood work is needed in our practice. If patients have significant medical issues, then bloodwork is sometimes required to make sure that they are cleared medically to have cosmetic surgery

In my Beverly Hills office we require blood tests for anyone having intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.  If you are healthy and the procedure is being done under pure local or local with oral sedation you should not need blood tests.

If you are healthy and are having a simple procedure you do not need lab work unless your doctor requests it.   My Best,  Dr Commons

 HI, whether or not any pre-op lab work or medical clearance is required will be based upon your medical health and the individual surgeon.  For a health individual having submittal lips under a local anesthetic, we would typically not require blood work.Hope this help.
