Pre-Cosmetic Surgery Physical: Why Your Surgeon Demands It and How to Get It Done in One Quick Visit

If you’re planning any cosmetic procedure - whether it’s breast augmentation, liposuction, facelift, tummy tuck, rhinoplasty or even non-surgical treatments done under sedation (like certain lasers or deeper injectables) your surgeon will almost always require a pre-operative physical exam (sometimes called a surgical clearance or pre-cosmetic surgery physical).

At Lifespark Health & Wellness in Roseville, CA, we specialize in same-day or next-day cosmetic surgery clearances so you can check this box quickly and get back to focusing on your transformation.

What the Exam Includes

Our providers follow guidelines from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and your surgeon’s specific protocol. A typical pre-cosmetic surgery physical at Lifespark Health & Wellness includes:

  • Complete medical history review (past surgeries, allergies, medications, supplements, family history)  
  • Vital signs & physical examination (heart, lungs, abdomen, skin)  
  • Age and procedure-specific labs (CBC, CMP, coagulation panel, pregnancy test if applicable, EKG if you’re over 45–50 or have cardiac history)  
  • Review of current medications & supplements
  • Anesthesia risk assessment (we’ll note if you need additional cardiac or pulmonary clearance)  
  • Documentation/letter of medical clearance for your surgeon (usually ready same day or within 24 hours)

How Soon Before Surgery Do You Need It?
  • Most plastic surgeons require clearance within 30 days of your procedure date  
  • Some want it within 2 weeks (especially for patients with medical conditions)  
  • We offer same-day or next-day appointments and weekend hours so you’re never scrambling last-minute.

Common Procedures That Require Clearance
  • Breast augmentation, reduction, or lift  
  • Liposuction & body contouring (360, BBL, tummy tuck)  
  • Facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery  
  • Rhinoplasty  
  • Mommy makeovers
  • Any procedure under general anesthesia or IV sedation

Why Surgeons Insist on It

Your cosmetic surgeon wants you to have gorgeous results but more importantly, they want you safe. This exam catches things like:

  • Undiagnosed anemia or clotting issues  
  • Heart or lung conditions that increase anesthesia risk  
  • Uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension  
  • Medications that dramatically raise bleeding risk

Lifespark Health & Wellness Makes It Easy
  • Walk-in or book online — no long wait for an appointment
  • On-site blood draw & rapid EKG (results in minutes, not days)
  • Affordable self-pay rates
  • Clearance letter emailed or printed instantly
  • We communicate directly with your surgeon’s office if needed

We’ll have you cleared and confident in one quick visit.
