Josh Olson, MD · Answer

You would need a clearance from a hematologist and your plastic surgeon. Depending on the extent of you enemia and if you have any symptoms you may not be a good candidate for the more extensive mommy makeover. Just a breast operation has limited blood loss and may be safe. A tummy tuck and lipousuction tend to have more blood loss but see a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery for more advice or recommendations.

My makeovers can vastly improve confidence and self image after child bearing in the appropriate candidate.  Anemia can range in severity and have multiple causes so work with a board certified plastic surgeon along with your medical doctor to determine if your condition can be corrected to the point where the operation is safe for you to undergo!Best wishes to you,Dr. Forsberg

You should not have a mommy makeover until your anemia is satisfactoriy corrected. It is too risky for many reasons.
