A medical clearance involves a comprehensive evaluation of your overall health status by a qualified medical professional. It includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and sometimes additional consultations with specialists. The purpose is to assess your fitness for surgery, taking into account any pre-existing conditions or underlying health concerns that may impact the procedure. On the other hand, a laboratory clearance focuses specifically on laboratory tests that provide crucial information about your body’s functions and potential risks. These tests may include blood work, imaging studies, and other relevant assessments. They help us evaluate how your body may respond to the surgical procedure and anesthesia, and identify any factors that could increase the risk of complications. Both clearances work in tandem to ensure your safety and optimize the outcome of your plastic surgery. The medical clearance assesses your overall health status, while the laboratory clearance provides specific data to guide the surgical approach. By combining these assessments, we gain a comprehensive understanding of your health and can tailor the procedure to meet your specific needs.
