I am planning to have surgery in July.
Answer: Is it safe for a patient who has suffered from iron deficiency anemia to undergo Liposuction? Thank you for your question. Assuming you are otherwise healthy and cleared for surgery by your medical doctor, your anemia should not prevent you from liposuction as the amount of blood loss during surgery is minimal. Hope this helps.

Answer: Patients with iron deficiency anemia can undergo liposuction. Modest anemia is no contraindication to liposuction since there is effectively no blood loss. Of course the cause of the anemia should be understood and therapy should have stabilized to the condition.

Answer: Liposuction risks Thank you for your question. I would likely have you visit with your primary physician prior to surgery, and have labs drawn there to be sure your hemoglobin levels are sufficient. Liposuction tends to be a very low blood loss procedure. If you just have a few targeted areas to treat, and your counts are good, then I think it would be perfectly safe to consider. Best wishes.

Answer: Liposution and anemia Before surgery you will need lab work done. A CBC will be required to test your degree of anemia. Assuming your anemia is mild, it will be safe to perform this procedure. With liposuction and using the tumescent technique, very little blood loss occurs. I would suggest taking extra iron before your surgery.

Answer: Anemia and Lipo I do not see any reason for you to not be able to undergo liposuction. Check with your Plastic Surgeon and your physician that monitors your anemia and plan accordingly. I would suggest being on a high dose Iron supplement at least 2 weeks prior to your surgery and plan to continue those supplements at least 2-3 weeks after your surgery as well. Also make sure that your Plastic Surgeon monitors your iron level at your follow up visits.
