Leukopenia - could I be cleared for breast augmentation?

March 25, 2025
Asked By:Bluegrasslady84 in Enschede, Overijssel, Netherlands

I am a 40 yo woman that is generally healthy, healthy weight, rarely gets sick, exercises regularly, no medications, doesn't smoke or drink: but I do have a leukopenia diagnosis. My WBCs are a steady 1.8. Could I be cleared for BA surgery? My hematologist says there is always a risk. My plastic surgeon says I will be fine. What would you advise with the information I have given?
