My platelet count is 110,000. Is this count too low to perform a safe tummy tuck/breast augmentation procedure?

A normal platelet count is 150,000-350,000. A count of 110, is a little low, but not so low that it should cause a problem during a mommy makeover procedure.If you have been previously worked up for thrombocytopenia (low platelet level), have your doctor send the plastic surgeon a letter stating that you had been worked up, and found to have a benign lower platelet level. I have most of my patients obtain medical clearance prior to surgery.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson G. Richards, MD

The platelet count itself is not a contraindication to surgery; more important will be a complete history/physical examination to determine whether you  are at a greater risk for bleeding  during surgery. If in doubt, seek consultation with a hematologist,  for complete preoperative evaluation/“clearance”. Best wishes.

if you have had successful pregmancies without excessive bleeding, it seems that you would be Ok to undergo elective surgery. However, to be safe a consultation with a hematologist will be the best way to make sure. Lab evaluation will determine if you are more susceptible to bleeding peri operatively.
