Healthy 31 year old, will a high platelet count keep me from having a breast lift w/augmentation?

Asked By:Chaela13

I wish to have lift w/augment but I've had high platelets. I'm a very healthy 31-year old aside from that and I've seen a hematologist (two, actually; one did bone marrow biopsy "just to be safe", the other thought it was unnecessary). Neither hematologist has answers for why this is occurring, other than "sometimes this just happens", and one hematologist thought no course of action was necessary while the other thought hydrea should be prescribed. Will this keep me from surgery?
