My hemoglobin level is 10.2 will I still be able to get breast surgery next month
Answer: Breast Surgery and Hemoglobin There is minimal blood loss during breast surgery, so that is not the issue. What I would want to investigate is why is your hemoglobin on the lower end? If we already know the cause (i.e. heavy menses, etc) I would say that you would be good to go if you were my patient.If we do not know the cause, then I would want you to see your family doctor and have them find out why it is so.Hope that helps.

Answer: My hemoglobin level is 10.2. Will I still be able to get breast surgery? You will want to discuss this with your surgeon as opinions may vary. Though blood loss during breast augmentation is minimal, it is a good idea for you to look into why your hemoglobin level is low.

Answer: Low hemoglobin Thanks for your question! Every surgeon has different levels of comfort and different protocols when operating on a patient. Personally, I would likely still do a straightforward breast augmentation because there is very little blood loss. If you were a breast lift or mommy makeover, I may feel differently. Regardless, you should still follow up with your primary care physician to see if there are any underlying issues. Good luck!

Answer: Yes if your physicians feel this is stable for you This fact needs to be determined. Also they will check to see if you are symptomatic with a lower hemoglobin. If all checks out, stable and not a new issue, then in my experience breast surgery goes forward as usual.
