Sinus Infection Before Breast Augmentation and Liposuction

Hi there-

I agree with my colleagues... Aesthetic Surgery, because it is elective by definition, should (in my opinion) never be performed under conditions that would improve with treatment of an existing condition.

In other words, I always want my patients to be as healthy as they can get before proceeding, and this is especially true any time I am going to be placing an implant.

Be sure you are at your best at the time of surgery- your risks will be lower and your chances of having a smooth recovery and great outcome higher.

I am sorry to hear about your concerns prior to your day of surgery. Generally speaking, patients undergoing elective surgery should be at their optimal (or close to) level of health prior to proceeding. It is especially important that there be no compromise of pulmonary function or active source of infection present.
Your plastic surgeon will be the only relevant resource when it comes to determining what medications you can take prior to surgery and your ability to proceed at this time.
Best wishes.

 There seems there might be enough time to treat your sinus infection but sometime it may take up to 3 weeks to effectively treat your sinusitis.  You are investing a lot of time and money for your aesthetic surgery.  It is best to make sure that you have completely treated so that can set the best stage for an optimal outcome of your aesthetic surgery.
