Liposuction with high platelets and high red blood cells?

Liposuction with high platelets and RBCs is fine but you should not be taking aspirin. I suggest speaking to your physician they should have explained this to you and given you a list of medications to avoid.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.  In general, having high platelets and red blood cells shouldn't prevent you from having liposuction.  I recommend consulting with several plastic surgeons in your area.  They may want to then speak with your hematologist/PCP about the reasons for the medications, and a plan for being off them (if possible) around the time of surgery.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

 Those two things will not necessarily keep you from having liposuction. However, I would suggest seeing your primary care physician first and finding out why those are high and do they pose any other problems for you. Once you have medical clearance then I am sure that your surgeon will not have any problems doing liposuction for you. Best of luck! Dr. Boschert
