Im 26 years old, my wight is 115lb and my tall is 5". I did blood work, and my haemoglobin was 130 after the liposuction it dropped to 50. Is that normal ? If it is not what causes that ? I had liposction in thighs, abdomen and lower back. The doctor removed 5000cc.
Answer: Blood Loss and Lipo Yes, some blood is lost with liposuction but using a tumescent technique minimizes it. The numbers you mentioned don't match typical values. Best person to discuss this with is your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Significant loss of blood as a consequence of liposuction is almost unheard of. Blood loss with liposuction almost always is extremely minimal. Your description is confusing to me but it sounds as though there's been a sizable decrease. You should really discuss this with your surgeon.

Answer: Is it normal to loss blood in Liposuction from 130 to 50 ?? Thank you for your question. Though some blood loss is expected with liposuction most techniques limit it to anywhere from 1-3% of the amount of fluid and tissue removed. If you are having any symptoms related to low blood counts contact your surgeon to ensure your safety.

Answer: Liposuction blood dilution Congratulations on your procedure and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.I do not recognize the units that you are talking about. The usual normal values are hb 15 and hct 45. In any case liposuction may dilute the values and you may look that you lost a lot of blood with the lab. The bottom line is that once you urinate all the excess volume is highly likely you will recover your base line values. Obviously if your aspirate was very bloody, is likely that the value is real. If you are feeling ok those numbers are irrelevant. Finally, make sure that your doctor is aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.Wishing you the best in your journey

Answer: Blood loss While it is common for the count to drop modestly, it would not be typical to drop well over 50%. I wonder if you are VERY early post-op and some of this represents what we call hemodilution from excess fluid in your system. If it is truly 5, be certain your surgeon is aware so proper monitoring/evaluation/treatment can be done.
