I have type 1 diabetes and I have just had a blood test to get my HBA1C result to go forward with a breast augmentation but I have a sensor which gives you an estimated A1C and the result is 8.7% (72mmol/mol). Is this too high for surgery as I really wanted to have it done as soon as possible?

Answer: BA candidate Dear jodielynch, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You should be healthy prior to elective procedures and any health condition should be under control. Your HbA1C should be within normal range. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: HBA1C Thanks for your question. I prefer this level to be less than 7%. Each doctor will have different criteria, but the better your sugar is controlled the less risk you will be exposed to during breast augmentation. Best, Dr. ALDO
