If my white blood cell count is slightly low, can I still be cleared for BBL surgery?

Sometimes a low white blood cell count is an indication of compromised immune status from any number of causes.  Your surgeon will have to be savvy enough to sort this out.

Dear Rational268764,
Every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol, which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

A low WBC count can be a sign of active infection or immune system problems. It is best to see your PCP for evaluation on the cause of your slightly low WBC count before undergoing elective plastic surgery such as a BBL. 

Hello Rational. Only your plastic surgeon and the specialist in charge of clearing you for surgery can answer you that.  But if your white blood cells are always like that it should not be a contraindication for surgery. Good luck.28 year experience

Your post is a little bit like asking.“ My car doesn’t go really fast am I good to drive cross country?”I suggest you talk to the person who ordered the blood test.If you have a plastic surgeon then he or she is the person to ask. If you don’t I suggest having in person consultations at which time you can discuss your medical history.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
