Is It Okay to Donate Plasma After Surgery Such As Cheek Implant or Anything Non Implant Related?

Question

the plasma center said that it's okay but i'm worried that it may increase the chances of infection or weaken the immune system or do anything detrimental to alter any ideal results. i will be asking the doctor of course as well but your opinion is highly valued as well

I am not aware of any cases in which donating plasma after a facial implant procedure created any issues. I would, however, definitely direct this question to your chosen plastic surgeon to obtain their advice. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSWeber Facial Plastic Surgery

There is no medical evidence that suggests that any type of blood donation after having any form of facial surgery, including cheek implants, places it at an increased risk for postoperative problems.

It is certainly acceptable to donate plasma after a minor surgical procedure. Probably best to wait a month until after a major procedure.

There would be no problem in donating plasma after surgery like cheek or other implants, or fillers or Botox. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
