I'm awaiting my breast augmentation with great anticipation but patiently waiting for my HcG levels to go down before we can proceed with the surgery. What "standard" levels are required for surgery?
Answer: HCG levels Thanks for your inquiry, HCG levels measure pregnancy. I do not understand your question completely, but in general terms you should not be pregnant and have elective surgery.

Answer: What HcG levels are required by surgeons to proceed with breast augmentation? Our LVN performs a pregnancy test at pre-op and on the day of surgery to ensure that you are not considered positive for pregnancy (anything above 25 mIU/mL). If your HcG level is between 6 and 24 mIU/mL, the result is considered a grey area, and you will likely need to be retested to see if your levels rise to confirm a pregnancy.

Answer: Hat HcG levels are required by surgeons to proceed with breast augmentation? Hello and thank you for your question. In our practice, we'll do a urine pregnancy test right prior to the surgery. As long as your HcG level is low enough to confirm lack of a viable fetus, you should be O.K. to undergo breast augmentation. Best,
