My hemoglobin is at 10.0 I previously had a tummy tuck and my hemoglobin level was 11 I had hoped the doctor would have done both procedures at the same time but he doesn’t and now I’m scheduled for a breast reduction surgery and my hemoglobin is at 10 will that be ok to have a breast reduction surgery
Answer: The Bellesoma Method in women with hemoglobin of 10.0 I have operated on patients with hemoglobin of 10.0 using The Bellesoma Method. Blood loss is usually minimal. However, I would recommend you start taking iron medication. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Answer: Is 10.0 hemoglobin level ok to have breast reduction and lift surgery? I would encourage you to be at a HGb of 12 .There are iron supplements and green leafy vegetables that will get you there. Why run the risk of falling below 10 and be symptomatic? By increasing your Hgb above 10 your recovery will be better. Good luckDr PG

Answer: Is 10.0 hemoglobin level ok to have breast reduction and lift surgery? This is dependent upon a host of factors including the amount of surgery performed, the cause of the anemia if present, and the treatment necessary to improve that anemia. Some PS will perform the BR and BL with a hemoglobin above 10 or 11; risk of low hemoglobin is bleeding. Your hematologist will have to approve you for surgery.
