Can my op still go ahead with low white blood cells & platelets before fleur de lis tummy tuck? & what can cause this?

Thank you for your question and I am sorry that these recent lab tests have caused you concern.  Ultimately all who participate in your care want to minimize all possible risks prior to surgery so that you are safe.  Your lab results should be discussed between your surgeon, anesthesiologist and primary doctor to ensure that their values do not indicate an issue that needs to be addressed before an elective procedure like a FDL tummy tuck.  

This is something that you need to discuss with your surgeon. He or she will have the final call on whether or not your surgery can go forward. You might want to also schedule an appointment with your internist just to get to the bottom of what, exactly, is going on. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Hi, thereI don't know how low your white blood cell and platelet counts are.However, if your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist are concerned, you should post-pone the surgery to be worked up the low WBC and Plt counts.  Your surgery is elective; you want to make sure that you are medically optimized.Best regards.

many thanks for your question but you need to discuss this matter with the Anesthetist and your surgeon to get the right evaluation in your case 

You should see your primary care doctor to perform a complete history and physical examination. Abnormal blood work can be a sign of certain medical problems. I would recommend this prior to your elective procedure. Good LuckRegards,Dr. Ravi Somayazula
