Having a lipo 360& bbl hemoglobin was 15.6 Hematocrit 45.1
Answer: High hemoglobin Great question! Unless there's a medical issue causing you to have a high hemogolbin that would prevent you from having general anesthesia, your surgeon will most likely not cancel surgery. Having a higher hemoglobin at the moment, barring any issues, is actually a good thing as you will have a decent amount of blood loss and if you are tanked up, then you won't be quite as deficient afterwards.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Answer: #RealselfQ: my hemoglobin and hematocrit came back high. Will they cancel my surgery? If your hemoglobin and hematrocrit levels are high, this shouldn't be a reason to cancel your surgery.

Answer: I’m having a lipo 360 and BBL, my hemoglobin and hematocrit came back high. Will they cancel my surgery ? If a patient is severely dehydrated (fasting prior to the blood test or other reasons), the hemoglobin and hematocrit can appear higher than normal. If your PS requested the lab tests, he/she will review the results and notify you if he/she is concerned about the levels. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
