What is an ideal iron level to have before breast augmentation and if it is low, what are the risks?

Asked By:princessgirl214 in Dallas, TX

I'm 27 and have always had low iron. I take iron supplements and eat good but can never get it high enough to not be considered anemic. Doctors can't figure out why or an underlying issue. Besides blood tests telling me my iron is low, I don't feel anemic. I'm very healthy and active. I want a BA but know the low iron may be an issue. How high does it need to be and I'm curious as to what the risks are?
