Precautions for Anemic Patient Undergoing Multiple Cosmetic Surgeries?

feb14
I am wanting to have surgery in March-April. Tummy Tuck, Liposuction to the abdomen, waist, and back, along with Brazilian Butt Lift. Being anemic with 10.5 Hemoglobin, is there any way I can get my blood count up and what level should it be to have the surgery?Should I have the surgeries in two stages once I get my blood count up? I am a female in my 40's 155lbs 5'5" and have been a anemic all my life. Thank you doctors for you help!
