My platelet levels are 133,000. Will this mean I have to post pone surgery for Breast Augmentation?

A low platelet count should be a concern going into any surgery but there are a number of ways to manage it. First and foremost you should investigate why your platelet count is low and make sure that there are no other medical issues to worry about. Breast augmentation is usually associated with very little bleeding but your surgeon may want you to see an internist or hematologist for some additional input and treatment planning prior to your procedure. You may also be at a higher risk for postoperative bleeding so your surgeon may want some recommendations from your other doctors on what to do in case that situation arises as well.

Our cut off is over 100k but each surgeon has their own comfort level with this. Check with your facility to see what their protocol is.

Depending on the reference range for the laboratory that did the test, 130 K platelets is low normal, but is still within the range where a breast augmentation could be performed safely.

I've always considered 100,000 critically low for surgery.  I would certainly coordinate with your medical doctor or hematologist.  I believe at 133,000 breast augmentation can still be done.

Yes, your platelets are a bit low, but it should not prevent surgery. However, you may want to look in to why your platelets are on the low side.

In our lab your platelet level is low normal, though you should check with your physician and have a through checkup if any tests are amiss. Your platelets protect you from bleeding after breast augmentation and it is important that your counts be normal and that there is no hindrance from other medication s such as aspirin.

If your platelet function is normal and you have not been on any medication to interfere with how they work, your count should be adequate for surgery. Do discuss your count with your surgeon.
