Should I postpone mommy makeover if I lost 2 pints of blood in a different surgery 12 days prior to scheduled makeover?

I'm sorry to hear about the complication you had from your previous surgery. This is definitely something you should discuss with your surgeon now. Please don't wait until the day of surgery. Your surgeon will advise you what is best as she/he has had the opportunity to examine you and review your complete medical history.

Having 2 surgeries with 2 general anesthetics so close together is not recommended  for many reasons. This is particularly the case if your first surgery had a complication such as you describe, and also when either operation is a relatively long procedure.

In addition to a lower hemoglobin level due to blood loss, you are at risk for more significant complications. "Mommy makeover" surgery  has an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in your deep veins that can travel to the lungs and be fatal). Having your pelvic surgery, especially with the complication you describe)  increases your risk of deep vein thrombosis.

I do not recommend that you have surgery so soon and that you fully discuss all of this with your plastic surgeon in order to minimize your risk. 

We recommend to our patients that elective cosmetic surgery, like a mommy makeover procedure, be delayed until at least 30 days after other procedures that involve the use of anesthesia.

Thanks for your question. My recommendation is to postpone this ELECTIVE cosmetic procedure for 6-8 weeks. Allow your body to recover from the recent stress of major blood loss. You will need all of your strength for optimal healing and recovery after your 6 hour makeover. Good luck. 

Thanks for your inquiry. If you were my patient I would not want you to have lost that much blood before an elective operation.  Make sure your plastic surgeon knows what happened and get a lab test to check your hemoglobin.  Good Luck.
