What does blood work test for Breast Augmentation with general anesthesia?

This is a standard of care issue and a Florida Board of Medicine requirement. The usual minimal blood/urine test are CBC, PT, PTT, urinalysis, pregnancy test. We are looking to see if you have anemia (low blood count),your ability or lack of ability to clot, checking if you have infection in blood or urine, and finally to see if you 'might' be pregnant! What troubles me is that you should have asked your chosen surgeon these concerns...

Great question - and the answer really varies based upon the medical history and age of the patient.  In general, in healthy patients, 60 years-old and younger, without any significant medical conditions, I do not get any bloodwork for an elective cosmetic operation, including a breast augmentation.If a patient has a particular health condition I will often get blood work or testing that is related to the medical condition.best of luck!

Thank you for the question.
You'll find that every practice has a different routine when it comes to pre-operative lab and medical workup. This includes blood tests that are ordered.  For most young, healthy patients minimal to no blood work is necessary. For example, often a hemoglobin check and a pregnancy test may be all that is indicated for a young healthy patient undergoing breast surgery.
In our practice, during the preoperative visit ( typically done several weeks prior to surgery)  patients are given a list of do's and don'ts that will help them get through the surgery and recovery safely.   We review their medical history and obtain any necessary preoperative workup necessary. This may include EKG and/or laboratory values depending on the patient's specific situation (factors such as patient age and medical history are important).
It will be best to speak with your surgeon and see what the office policy is for that specific office.
Best wishes.
