Can I get breast implants if I have anemia or is it too risky?

December 21, 2018
Asked By:YEG21 in Canada

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.
