Hello, thank you for your question. You would need a medical clearance from your specialist, after that you can schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hello and thank  you for your question.  Yes, you may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck procedure but your plastic surgeon would most likely require preoperative labs as well as medical clearance from your cardiologist.  I would suggest scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.  Best of luck to you!

Dear marwarobaye,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

If your cardiologist has cleared you for the procedures and you are otherwise a good candidate, you can proceed with surgery.  It would be helpful in order to minimize risk and maximize your outcomes if you could lose a little weight first.  The first step you already completed by meeting with your cardiologist.  Now you are ready for a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.
