The goal of medical clearance is to ensure that you are a safe candidate to undergo surgery. The risks of one procedure vs. another will vary. For this reason, your PCP will need to know what exactly he/she is clearing you for.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
