I'm doing a mommy makeover in 6 days and my MCH, MCHC is low and my RDW is high. Will there be any problems?

Modest anemia can be tolerated with this elective aesthetic procedure. Generally there is very little blood loss. Correction of the anemia should be begun and whether or not it's safe to proceed with all of the proposed operations is a judgment decision by your surgeon.

Hello janhelen and thanks for your question. Those labs you've mentioned are not as important your red blood cell count and your hematocrit/hemoglobin level. A high rdw could be associated with iron deficiency anemia, but you have not provided enough information in your statement to be able to help you. Have your plastic surgeon review all your labs before moving forward. Best wishes always, Dr. Aldo
