My TT is scheduled for April 12th. I have to pay for my labs about a week beforehand. How much can I expect to pay for them? I also have to buy this injection to be done within 24 of my surgery to prevent clotting? How much for this as well. Thanks so much in advance

Surgeon Should Give Costs of Labs

In my practice the cost of pre-op labs is built into the total cost (anesthesia, facility, supplies, etc.), although you would have to pay for the Lovenox additionally.  Your plastic surgeon should be able to tell you the lab fees and your pharmacist should be able to tell you the cost of the Lovenox.  Your plastic surgeon may be able to obtain the labs at a reduced fee.
