QUESTION

Hello,

I am a 40 year old woman and I was wondering if you could help me out with a little concern. Tomorrow I am going to have liposuction and a tummy tuck done. So I had to get some blood work done and everything came out fine except my MPV level was a bit low. It was 7.3. I was wondering if I should be worried about something drastic happening during the surgery due to this?

Thank You,
