Low INR - BBL on June 7th.

Question

Hello Doctors, I am scheduled for a BBL on June 7th. I just got my pre operative lab tests this morning and my INR is .95. The normal range is 2 - 3. In your opinion, is this a concern that would prevent me from having the procedure? In my research of low INR, I leaned that it could be caused by vitamin k, which I take in a multivitamin daily. Coincidentally, I had just stopped taking my vitamins today in preparation of the surgery. Thanks in advance for your response!

Thanks for reaching out.  A low INR indicates blood that has a higher tendency to clot.  Most of the time BBL includes Lioosuction on both your abdomen and your back.  Some physicians think there is a higher rate of blood clots for circumferential body procedures (front and back).  I would speak to your surgeon about it.  It would be a good idea to see a Hematologist (A Doctor that specializes in disorders of the blood) and see what the cause is and if there would be any special perioperative recommendations.I hope this helps :)

Usually a low INR is not a problem but it is probably worth while to see a hematologist to be properly evaluated.
