Can I be cleared for a BBL with elevated WBC? What’s the side effects if any?

Question

I’m pretty health my labs came back normal except my wbc which was 13.3 and iron 11.4

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

There are other factors to consider here such as history of lab values and other signs and symptoms.  Sometimes a high white blood cell count is an indication of an immune system issue or an infection.  The physician who ordered your lab tests be savvy enough to sort this out.  Also inform your selected PS of the lab results as he/she will know the appropriate route to take.

Hello dear. 
Thank you for your question and provided information as well.
If you are considering a surgery, I recommend you to visit to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get to know if you can have the surgery.
Hope this helps and best of lucks.

Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear mccaakill20,
high WBC can indicate a possible infection, so it is important to discuss this with your plastic surgeon because every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients.

An elevated WBC on it's own should not preclude you from having a surgical procedure.  I usually perform a physical exam to ensure there is no focus for a minor infection and repeat the blood test with a differential (which gives me more information about the WBC's).  A level of 13.3 is elevated, but not that much higher than the 11-12 count.  I am more concerned with WBC levels with breast implants and BBL's as well.Dr T

Your plastic surgeon should be the one evaluating your lab tests and clearing you for surgery. If you don’t have one then I suggest having a few in person consultations.

Whoever ordered the tests should review them with you.
