Should I be concerned about my low white blood cell count before breast augmentation surgery?

January 21, 2024

In 2 days I am getting BA surgery. Beforehand I thought it would be wise to get a check up at the skin doctor, obgyn and family doctor. I have the green light from skin and obg dr. But family dr is very much against plastic surgery. On Wed I gave blood and urine. Friday evening I get a call saying everything came back healthy but I have a low white blood cell count of 1.6 and not to go through with surgery. My husband is fighting a cold. I have no symptoms and feel fine. Advice please.
