Low Hemoglobin Count & Plastic Surgery: Is it Safe?
My HB count is 68. I am scheduled for a lower body lift in 2 weeks. I was asked to let my dr sign a pre-op form. I knew that he wouldnt since my count is very low but he did! I am stunned and confused! the clinic nurse coordinator received the form & confirmed the surgery.
Should I tell them about the HB count? If I don't is my plastic surgeon going to cancel the surgery What is the lowest count that acceptable to do such a surgery? Is there any way besides iron pill that I can increase my level fast
