Pre Operative Question Answer

How long are laboratory and medical clearances valid for?

The validity of laboratory clearances, which include blood work and imaging studies, is typically a few months. However, your plastic surgeon may request updated tests if there has been a significant time gap between the clearance and the surgery date. Medical clearances, on the other hand, are generally valid for a few months to a year. It’s important to note that your health status can change over time, so a recent medical assessment is necessary to ensure an accurate evaluation of your overall health before surgery.
