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. 

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
