Is it safe to do a tummy tuck if my iron level is 11?

Lab values should be reviewed by your surgeon who will make the decision whether or not it is safe to proceed with surgery. Sometimes a request is made to repeat the test to ensure that the result wasn't an anomaly. If you are referring to your hemoglobin level you are only slightly low so you will likely be fine to proceed, but your surgeon will advise you of the final decision.

If you are referring to your hemoglobin, then 11 should be fine.  Normal blood loss for a good surgeon performing an abdominoplasty is just a few cc's (less than an ounce).  Make she your are going to an experienced surgeon and all should be great.

Thanks for your inquiry, your iron level can be 11 which is low, or your hemoglobin level more likely is 11 which is slightly low.  Many factors determine the amount of blood loss in any given surgery, please ask your surgeon how much blood loss he/she anticipates.

I am assuming that you are referring to your Hemoglobin level.  The normal Hemoglobin is usually between 12 and 15.  You are slightly below the normal level.  Have an evaluation by your medical physician to assess the cause of your Hemoglobin.  If the tummy tuck is being performed alone with no additional procedures you should be fine.  Get clearance from you medical physician regarding your blood work prior to surgery.

Thank you for your question. It is essential to make pre-op lab work and evaluation, they should be in optimal ranges, that allows us to make a safe procedure. Finally, I recommend you to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
