Tummy Tuck with Low Blood Count?

Hi there-
As my colleagues have pointed out, all surgery will carry risks...
Your surgery should be safe, provided that your anemia responds to your current iron supplementation.
I'm not sure exactly what happened to your friend, but death after liposuction should be exceedingly rare when performed by a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Surgery cannot be performed without risk. You must be willing to accept some degree of risk. Your surgeon chose to delay your surgery until your anemia is corrected because he/she felt it was in your best interests and a sign that he/she cares about your overall well being.
