Hi, thank you for sharing your question. If your medical doctor has cleared you for surgery, these two values will not prevent you from moving forward with surgery. Check with your surgeon to get the best information.

I would think the surgery could proceed but the final decision  will be up to your surgeon .  I can’t Duran for your surgeon but it doesn’t sound like a problem

Dear lsession04,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Your diabetes should be well controlled prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Lab values will be reviewed by the ordering physician who will determine if it is safe for you to proceed.  Based on the values submitted it is likely that your surgery will proceed as planned, but your surgeon will make the final call.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
An A1c of 5.7 is borderline normal and your blood sugar is normal (although different labs may provide different normal values). 
Although I don't consider these lab results problematic, every surgeon has their own individual protocol. You should ask for your surgeon's opinion.
Best wishes...
