Dear Polite123348,
you should be healthy prior to surgery and your lab results should be within normal range. But every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

The normal lymphocyte range in adults is between 1,000 and 4,800 lymphocytes in 1 microliter of blood. A good lymphocytes is usually between 14 and 46%. The way to treat high lymphocyte levels is to treat the disease that is causing it.
See what your doctor has to say, because he/she understands the context in which the tests were ordered.

Thank you for your question. I appreciate that your lymphocytes are elevated but I think there needs to be more explanation to those labs. Is this where you normally run? Are you being worked up for anything infectious at the time of the labs being drawn. I would recommend discussing this with your physician that ordered the labs. I think its obvious that if you are fighting an active infection that it would be prudent to be healthy from that before proceeding with surgery as you would not want to get an infection after surgery. Usually this only requires a few days of treatment to see your numbers fall back into the normal range.
