Asked By:Cheerful900480 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I have a rhinoplasty scheduled in a few days. I mentioned in my history that I have anemia and asked multiple times if any testing is required. However, surgeon said there was no need for any tests. Being extra cautious I decided to get my blood tested. Results came back with hemoglobin 8.5 g/dl. My primary physician said she cannot advise in regards to the surgery. But she sent the results to the plastic surgeon as she was concerned. She said it would be a plastic surgeons call. Please advise
