Question for a friend- can a person have a tummy tuck ( or any plastic ) if they have a defibrillator ?

Yes: But defibrillator has to be retested and reprogrammed after surgery. if AICD is in abdominal wall,as it is rarely, be careful not to damage the leads.

Yes with cardio ok: As along as your cardiologist is informed and present for peri operative management and your friend is in otherwise good health, a tummy tuck can be performed.
