Should I Worry About Benign PVCs and Surgery?

June 12, 2013
Asked By:4keys2myheart in Buffalo, NY

I am getting a mommy makeover on July 9, tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I was diagnosed about 4 1/2 years ago (after my first c section is when they started), with benign PVCs. I have had a handful of echo cardiograms and EKGs and also halter monitors. My most recent echo was 9 mths ago and it was perfect and I wore an event monitor for a month, and that came back clear too. Should I be worried about medical clearance? Should I be worried about going under with benign PVCs? Thanks!
