I’m pretty health my labs came back normal except my wbc which was 13.3 and iron 11.4
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.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
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
