Low WBC (2.9) but within my normal range. Can I get breast augmentation?

Asked By:Passionate451431 in Oklahoma, OK

I’m set to have breast augmentation surgery next week and just completed my lab work. I have history of low WBC (2.9) and Neutrophils (1.4). I’ve visited a hematologist prior and told this is my normal range. All other lab work is great and have never been one to get sick or even hospitalized outside of having children. I’m afraid that they might make me cancel/reschedule. My medical clearance is good as well by my PCP. With my history of my WBC, is it possible that they would cancel my surgery?
