Sore throat and impending breast augmentation surgery
Due to your sore throat and impending surgery, you need to be evaluated ASAP by your primary care physician and also notify your plastic surgeon. If there is an infection or high probability of an infection, surgery should be cancelled.

Breast augmentation is an elective cosmetic surgery. Don't let a sore throat place you at unnecessary risk.
If you have fever, chills, or a productive cough, there is a good chance you will need to postpone your surgery. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon as soon as possible.

Breast Augmentation with Sore Throat?
Thank you for the question.
Ask this question of your plastic surgeon who will be able to guide you more precisely than online consultants. It may be in your best interests to be seen by your primary care physician to diagnose ( and potentially treat) the cause of the sore throat. If an active infection is present, it will be in your best interests to postpone surgery.
Best wishes.

Elective surgery if you are sick
If you are having issues such as a sore throat, or any other illness, it is best to contact your surgeon immediately so that they can determine if it is safe to proceed with surgery, or if it would be better to postpone it for a week or so. With elective surgery such as this, it isn't worth it to take extra risks-- safety is the number one priority for you.

Preop sore throat
You should call your plastic surgeon immediately and report that you are ill. Patients who have viruses should not undergo elective, cosmetic surgery and the surgery will probably need to be delayed. This is in your best interests, particularly as anesthesia is involved. I know that it is an inconvenience but know that it happens to patients all the time. I'm sure that your surgeon will be able to find a time in the schedule within a few weeks so you can have the procedure.

Sore throat before surgery
Since this type of surgery is elective I think everything should be ideal in order to have the greatest chance of a good outcome. I would have you see your family doctor. You should have this problem treated and reschedule the surgery. The problem may cause a problem with anesthesia or if you have a bacterial infection it could possible result in a a surgical site infection. These are not risks you should take for having a cosmetic procedure. I would contact your...

What to do - Sore Throat and Breast Augmentation in 4 days
Breast Augmentation is an "I WANT" surgery NOT an "I NEED" surgery. Since risks and complications are inextricably associated with all procedures and operations, it is very important to avoid taking needless risks when the operation is not urgent and life saving. When your throat hurts you may have either a bacterial or viral infection. Putting you to sleep in the face of a throat infection can result in serious complications affecting your lungs and may even kill...
