Is blood work required before plastic surgery?

Is blood work required before plastic surgery, or can you just get a physical without it beforehand?

1. Yes. They need to find out your blood type and to test for any underlying disease that might interfere with the recovery process.
2. It would be negligent of them not to draw blood and do a work-up...
3. it is always required b/c if something ever goes wrong they will know your blood type
4. Yes, some blood tests are required. Just a CYA thing for the doc usually, but occassionally something turns up important that might influence how he handles your case.
