Do doctors check for HIV or hepatitis in the blood work before breast augmentation?

Hello,Thank you for your question. Those specific tests are not typically ordered as part of routine blood work but you can ask your Plastic Surgeon if you have concerns.All the best

Neither HIV or Hepatitis is normally part of the blood work done before a breast augmentation. If you are worried about either, you need to get screened for both to ensure your safety as well as everyone else's safety. 

Lab work ordered before surgery varies by surgeon and patient.  If you have concerns with regards to these illnesses you need to have them addressed before surgery.  This is for your and everyone else's safety.

Routine labs may be required before breast augmentation depending on the age and health of the patient.   HIV and hepatitis screening are not routinely performed.  Any concerns about these infections should be monitored and treated through a primary care physician or infections disease specialist.    Elective procedures would be discouraged unless these conditions are treated.   

Some doctors routinely checked for hepatitis and HIV, and some will do if asked. If you are concerned that you may have hepatitis or HIV, please see your medical doctor. If you are in an active and untreated stage, you do not need elective surgery. If you are stable and well controlled, you should do well with elective surgery.
