Accidentally took 4 aspirin 4 days before Tummy Tuck. How likely will it be that my surgery will have to be postponed.

ChrissyChrysler
I am having a tummy tuck with lipo in 3 days. Yesterday I accidentally took 4 aspirin (75mg - not all at the same time). I know this inhibits platelet function and could lead to excessive bleeding. I also know I have to discuss this with the surgeon. How likely will it be that he ll postpone the surgery. Are 4'days enough for the platelet function to recover? Thanks in advance
