There are several options. Your plastic surgeon could arrange and interpret them. Your primary care doctor could do the same. Some surgical centers actually have a pre-operative testing center where age- and health- appropriate testing is performed. Your plastic surgeon will be able to tell you how to proceed. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Your doctor's office should be able to give you those instructions. Normally my patients do the tests through their regulart doctor's office.
