My doctor said my lab results came back that I'm too anemic too have breast implants.he is recommending me to take pills for a week before surgery.shoyld I be worried?
Answer: Anemia If you are truly too anemic for elective surgery, taking pills for only one week will not correct your anemia. Also, you need to find out why you are anemic, and be treated. For some women with heavy menstral flow, taking iron tablets routinely can be helpful.

Answer: Anemia prior to breast augmentation. A breast augmentation loses virtually no blood. If anemia is severe enough to postpone surgery then it should be worked up. Talk to your primary care physician

Answer: What is 'too anemic' mean as HgB above 10 can easily tolerate a procedure. Still, its best for you to find out what is wrong as to why you are anemic and fix that before having elective surgery if you are truly 'too anemic' to have surgery.

Answer: Lab results say I'm too anemic to have breast implants If your lab results are that bad, I think you should first talk with your primary care physician. It is doubtful that one week of pills (iron supplements?) will cause a substantial correction. The bigger question is why are you so anemic?

Answer: Your hemoglobin should be within normal limits before surgery Its not uncommon to have anaemia and in your case it seems minor, as your doctor thinks one week of iron supplementation should do. but in any case I prefer to have the test repeated and have it within normal limits before rescheduling. If anaemia is severe then further investigations will be required. To have normal hemoglobin ensures safe surgery and anaesthesia.
