Would it be safe for me to have a BBL/Lipo based on my blood work for PTT?

Based on this PTT value, you would not be a candidate for surgery in my office, and I would suspect that 99% of plastic surgeons would agree (and I would be very suspect of the 1% who may say yes). The best thing to do is to see your physician and repeat the test. It may be an error. If not, have them investigate possible causes and treat that before having elective cosmetic surgery.

I’m glad to see that your doctor has requested a pre-operative work up in preparation for your surgery. Since you have a lab value out of range, please discuss this with your surgeon and see if they recommend further testing, especially in light of your thalassemia.

This question will best be answered by your medical doctor or even a hematologist. It does show you may have increased bleeding risks.

Safety is always the priority in surgery. The ordering physician needs to be consulted about your abnormal lab values. A repeat test may be performed in order to rule out an error. If you continue with abnormal results a consult with a hematologist may be indicated before proceeding with surgery.

Based on that very high PPT you need repeat PTT asap. Stop any supplements or diet drinks/pills. Call your chosen surgeon to discuss, if you have one or going to clinic . Then no way to speak to assigned surgeon!
A high PPT could indicate bleeding & clotting issues! Might need hematology clearance. Best to switch to private practice real plastic surgeon for your surgery …..

Each plastic surgeon will have their own view regarding preoperative blood tests. It would be reasonable to get hematology consult if you have abnormal blood clotting.
If you have a plastic surgeon, then ask him or her.
