Abnormal EKG. Is it possible to have a facelift?

 This needs to be okayed by a cardiologist. It depends why the EKG is abnormal. If there's a question the cardiologist will speak with the anesthetist so you have unequivocal clearance for having this type of surgery.

Thank you for your question.  An abnormal EKG requires clearance from a cardiologist prior to surgery.  Once cleared, you can have your surgery.  Best Wishes and Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

If your cardiologist feels you are at low risk for problems, then most plastic surgeons will consider you for a facelift procedure.  Have your plastic surgeon ask your cardiologist if you can be cleared for surgery.

Thank you for your question.  The safety of having a facelift with your diagnosis is a question that should be directed to your cardiologist.  Consult with your doctor about your condition then discuss further with a plastic surgeon.

You would need an evaluation by a cardiologist to determine your risk for surgery with your valve dysfunction.  You plastic surgeon should have a discussion with the cardiologist to make the final determination to proceed with surgery.

It is certainly possible for you to have a facelift.  You would need an OK from your cardiologist, but if you are able to exercise normally without any problem I think chances are very good you will be able to have a facelift.

You may be a candidate depending upon the type of anesthesia used, how severe your cardiac condition is and if you have other co morbidities. The risk evaluation is best left to your cardiologist and your anesthesiologist in consultation with each other after a thorough physical.Best of LuckDr. JA.

Dear joyce2beAs doctors, we don't just treat EKGs and any abnormality should be looked at in full context and in a holistic way. You should see your Primary care doctor and your cardiologist. If your cardiologist feels you are reasonably safe for administration of anesthesia, then you can then consider the proper work up and proceed with surgery as indicated. In general, mild aortic valve regurgitation is not a contraindication to anesthesia.Consultation with more than one experienced plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery can help you make an informed and safe decision.

Well you need to speak to your Cardiologist and speak to your surgeon to see what they say. You have two different issues so definitely get a work up with tthe Cardiologist and go over the results with the doctor. You will need the clearance from them before you can have the surgery done. 

Hi.  This is a question for your cardiologist, but I doubt that they would say that you could not have a facelift with mild aortic regurgitation.  Good luck.
