Blood type is RH negative can I still get surgery ?
Answer: My blood type is RH - should I be scared or think twice about my upcoming surgery? Assuming that you are having cosmetic surgery, your blood type will have no bearing on your risks for surgery. Blood transfusions are rarely necessary in cosmetic surgery and even if you did, the blood bank would ensure that the blood transfused would match your blood type and Rh factor.

Answer: Rh factor not a concern in pretty much any surgery Unless your surgery is delivering a child, Rh plays no role I'm aware of. In the extremely rare instance you did need a transfusion the blood bank should check all of the parameters related to a transfusion.

Answer: Blood Type and Surgery Make sure you ask your surgeon this question. In my practice, my concern about blood type only comes about when a transfusion may be possible (very rare). If the surgery is extensive then you may donate your own blood and receive it after surgery. Usually, this is done with insurance cases. If a blood transfusion is possible, then you may be able to stage the procedure and avoid the transfusion all together. Not knowing what kind of surgery you are having makes it difficulty to answer. Your Plastic Surgeon is the best resource to answer this question.
