Getting abortion pill and then upper bleph - need guidance

Question

Hi !! I need some guidance please. I have a set upper bleph appointment under local anesthesia April 25th now (unplanned) I’m 3 weeks pregnant - I’m getting an abortion pill tomorrow the 6th. Is it safe to go under local so soon not sure if hemoglobin levels come into consideration? Thank you for any insight :D

Sara R. Dickie, MD · Answer

Medically this should not matter. At 3 weeks anticipate moderate bleeding, like a very heavy period that will last for 5-7 days. This may lower your hemoglobin, but not significantly. Take iron supplementation if you are vegetarian.  Skin-only upper bleph under local anesthesia is a bloodless procedure. There should be no contraindication between the two procedures. The abortion pill does not affect your ability to heal, it does not change your blood profile or your ability to heal wounds. 
Be well.
