Thank you for your question. If your anemia is controlled well with iron pills, and you are cleared by your medical doctor, I don't anticipate a contraindication for surgery. Best to speak to a board certified plastic surgeon. All the best,
Thank you for your excellent question. It is important to have an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your candidacy for the procedure. You should bring recent blood work results to allow the surgeon to assess the severity of your anemia. You will also need pre-operative clearance from your primary care physician so everyone will be aware of your situation and safety to proceed. Hope this helps and good luck!
It's really going to depend. Speak with your main doctor as to what he or she thinks. If you get the go ahead, schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss in detail. My best,Dr. Sheila Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram
If your Hb is lower than 8g/dl I would personally postpone until your Hb is higher than this. Between 8-10 I would consider surgery based on the pros and cons. Ideally I would like the Hb to be >10g/dl and for a full TT I would recommend postponing until the Hb is >10g/dl. So in essence you need your Hb checked and then see your PS for a discussion of the pros and cons.
Thank you for the question. Much will depend on the degree of anemia and how much blood loss is anticipated with the procedure. Make sure that your plastic surgeon is aware of your concerns and has access to a recent hemoglobin level. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

A "Stretch Mark" is NOT really a mark but a crack in the dermis of the skin which is seen with long, unrelenting pull similar to a rip in a piece of cloth. It appears as red/purple due to the blood vessels in it and as it matures it becomes silvery white due to scar tissue.It is VERY rare for...
Thanks for the question. Generally, abdominoplasty involves a recovery period of longer than most plastic surgical procedures. It generally takes 3 weeks to get over the first phase of recovery. However, downtime for abdominoplasty can vary from patient to patient, depends on the size of the ...
It's a good question. It's difficult to try to answer that question, without seeing photos. I would consider reposting your question with photos of your abdomen from several angles.Swelling after a tummy tuck can last up to six months. A remaining area of fullness can be treated with liposuction...
Every plastic surgeon is slightly different when it comes to postoperative position protocols. My protocol is to sleep on the back for 6 weeks as much as possible. Propping up one side slightly with pillows is acceptable. My advice is to ask your plastic surgeon regarding his or her...
