Will low BUN (blood urea nitrate) and low creatine (5), disqualify me from my upcoming breast augmentation and lift?

Always best to talk to your surgeon. BUN probably normal and you probably misread the creatinine- probably ".5" which would also be normal. Your surgeon could give you a definitive answer.

You should check with your primary care doctor, who knows you best, about dietary changes or supplements which can help normalize your blood work. Improvement in the levels would be prudent to minimize possible complications, although the risk of complications from a routine breast augmentation is very low. Best wishes.

Dear Bright541414,

you need to be healthy prior to any elective procedure. 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.

First, congratulations on your weight loss, that’s an incredible accomplishment and takes real dedication! A creatinine level around 0.5 is actually quite common after weight loss or in people with lower muscle mass or lower protein intake. It’s usually not a reason to delay surgery, but of course, your own surgeon and anesthesia team will review your complete lab results to be sure everything looks safe.
In the meantime, focus on staying hydrated and nourishing your body with enough protein to support healing and strength before surgery. If you’re feeling well and the rest of your labs are normal, this single value is rarely concerning.
Wishing you a smooth and safe surgery ahead.
Warm regards,Dr. Sibel Atalay, MDBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Your surgeon will review the lab values with you to determine if you can safely proceed with surgery or if other interventions are needed. I'll include a video that discusses pre and post op nutrition tips that I hope you find helpful.
