Question

My RBC 3.65 & Lymphocytes 23

Janet Turkle, MD · Answer

Hi,This is a question that can only be answered by your surgeon and what he/she feels is appropriate. Without knowing any other details of your health history, it is difficult to speculate. Good luck.

Mark Eberbach, MD · Answer

A low WBC is common with the onset of a viral infection. Depending on the surgery a delay may be in order. A developing flu or cold could make recovery tough with coughing and sneezing after a tummy tuck or breast surgery. After a facelift it could increase your risk of bleeding.
Best to be checked clinically prior to proceeding.

Nancy de Kleer, MD, FRCSC (Plast) · Answer

I would not cancel your surgery based on this blood work.
Your surgeon and anesthetist will review your labs before surgery and make the final decision.

Michael Hueneke, MD (retired) · Answer

Personally, I would not cancel your surgery. Your hemoglobin and white blood cell count are within normal limits. It is of course up to the surgeon and anesthesiologist that will be treating you.
