Thank you for your questions and photo.

As mommy makeover operation is a combined surgery, it would be better to see your pictures to give a better consultation and quotation. We generally combine tummy tuck, liposuction and breast operations for mommy makeover but first, we need to understand your needs.

While you should still be able to have a Mommy Makeover with a high ferritin level, it is best to consult with your primary care doctor or whoever ordered the ferritin labwork beforehand.

Thanks for your inquiry, but without more information it is hard to advise.  There are conditions like hemachromatosis for example that when left untreated lead to liver concerns which then may effect surgery. An isolated lab in itself many not have any significance, please ask your physician to discuss this level further and best of luck.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Elevated ferritin levels are associated with obesity, and inflammation, or a genetic-related condition known as hemochromatosis. Having elevated levels of ferritin is not harmful by itself, rather it is an indicator of other symptoms that are damaging your body. Recommend that you consult with the doctor who ordered the lab work to determine if other tests can provide additional information regarding the reason for the high levels. You need clearance that you are healthy before considering a MM.
