Will a Slightly Stuffy Nose Delay Breast Augmentation Surgery?

The final determination must be made by your surgeon and you should notify him or her immediately.  To me, it sounds pretty mild and if you don't have a fever, it should be okay to proceed.  But every surgeon has their own recommendation, so notify your surgeon ASAP.

Thank you for your question. If in the unfortunate circumstance that you get sick before your surgery, you may have postpone your surgery until you are better again. If you are feeling sick, I would discuss with your surgeon who may help you decide depending on your individual symptoms.

Elective surgery should be postponed if the overall health of the patient is compromised. A small amount of nasal congestion in and by itself is not a contraindication to a breast augmentation. If it is suspected to be a prodrome to a more serious medical problem the surgery would be rescheduled.
