Does a platelet count of 139 make me a bad candidate for breast lift with augmentation surgery?

Question

I am planning my breast lift with augmentation surgery in two weeks, I just had my complete blood works done and my platelets are saying 139. Will I have to cancel?

Asif Pirani, MD, FRCS(C) · Answer

You need to have this worked up.  I would recommend this be done before having any elective surgery.  Discuss this with your PS.

While it is possible to safely have surgery with a platelet count of 139,000, it would not be recommended without further workup.  The first order of business is to find out why your platelet count is low.  Could it be a lab error? If the result is real, the reason must be determined.  Your plastic surgeon will probably either refer you to your primary care doctor or directly to a hematologist.
