I am having a BBL and I'm a petite person, 110 lbs 4'11" with a BMI of around 22. My doctor's general pre-op instructions are to take large doses of iron prior to surgery. I am a more natural-minded individual and don't like taking supplements if I don't have to. Would a skinnier patient like me have less blood loss than the average BBL patient? Do I really need to be worried that I will lose a lot of blood?
