Rhinoplasty got delayed due to low hemoglobin. Have been taking iron supplements for 4 weeks now, hemoglobin changed from 8.5 to 9.6. Would like to know what is the minimum hemoglobin level preferable for the surgery?

Answer: Preoperative protocol Dear Cheerful900480, 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.

Answer: What is the minimum hemoglobin acceptable for Rhinoplasty‘s What is the minimum hemoglobin acceptable for Rhinoplasty? The answer to this question will vary from surgeon to surgeon but will probably be between 10 and 11. Rhinoplasty generally does not involve significant blood loss, however in an exceptional case it may be more than expected. Most healthy young people will be OK with a hemoglobin of 10 however a hemoglobin in excess of 10 closer to 11 leaves more room for blood loss if it should occur.
