Luis A. Mejia, MD · Answer

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question its depend of the procedure you gonna get. me recommendation is discuss all about the with your plastic surgeon.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

This is dependent upon a host of factors including the amount of surgery performed, the cause of the anemia, and the treatment necessary to improve that anemia.  In an otherwise healthy person without anemia or other consuming disease, there is usually nothing that needs to be done.  The HgB does not have to be artificially elevated for surgery.  BBL can be performed for most individuals with a hemoglobin above 10 or 11.  Your PS is in the best position to make that decision.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Surgeons often have different opinions so it's probably best if you discuss this with your own surgeon. I would suggest contacting the office as soon as possible in case they want you to do more tests.
