Does Breast Reduction Surgery After Recovering From Lupus Cause Any Complications?
My wife suffered life threatening low white platelette count well below 3000 in Sept 2016. After 34 of 60 days in the hospital her platelette were eventually in control via medication. For about a year now she has maintained a steady 230k count. She would like to undergo surgery for breast reduction. The platelette problem was due to a rumatoid problem believed to be lupus based upon several of the markers. Is there any increased risk to the breast reduction surgery due to her platelette/lupus condition?
