Hello, I recently went through a medical check with my surgeon and they discovered through blood test results that I have blood level of 7.4 or something around 7. So I am basically anemic. My surgery was suppose to be due to be in 3 weeks but this may push it back significantly from what I’m hearing from my doctor. I would like to know the risk of pursuing surgery with this level and if there is any way I can up my levels greatly for the procedure. I am getting breast implants.

Answer: Anemia Yes, safety is a priority. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon
