If my hemoglobin 11.6 is it safe to have a BBL or will I need the cell saver?

I don’t know your entire medical history, but your current hemoglobin level should be fine. Your PS may wish to contact your primary care doctor to gain further insight into your history or request a medical clearance pre-operatively. Also, I’ve never used or heard of any one using a cell saver for BBL surgery. That device is not needed nor indicated for liposuction and fat grafting procedures. Hope this helps you. Best of luck.

I usually require a hemoglobin of 12 to undergo a BBL since so much liposuction and therefore blood loss occurs with this case. The goal is to avoid having to give a blood transfusion. Taking iron pills for a few weeks to one month should get you up to 12.
