Can I still have breast augmentation if I have gallstones?

October 4, 2014
Asked By:firewife3 in Albuquerque, NM

I'm scheduled for breast augmentation in 5 days, but I think I may have gallstones. I had an ultrasound and bloodwork yesterday and I'll find out if I have them on Monday. I'm wondering if I do have them, if this is a risk and I should wait to have my breast augmentation? I know my doctor will tell me in a couple of days, but I'm wondering now. I have only 4 gallbladder attacks since July
