Most women need no testing at all.
The SurgiCenter will require a pregnancy test prior to your surgery for which they will
gather a urine sample for you when you arrive. If you are 40 years of age or older you'll
need a screening mammogram prior to your surgery. If you have any family history of breast
cancer you will need a mammogram regardless of your age. We can set this up for you. If
you are young and healthy and have no medical history is unlikely that you will require
any tests prior to surgery at all. If you're adding liposuction section to your surgical
procedure you'll need a few basic blood tests and a pregnancy test. If you have any
medical history at all with regard to your heart or any major organ disease including
diabetes or other problems including hypertension you may need electrocardiogram and other
basic blood tests. You may also need some of your medical records. Please bring your
medical records with you and contact data to your family physician so that we can obtain
the appropriate medical records so that your surgical procedure can be done safely.
