My 2nd dose of the vaccine is on a Monday. My Preop is that Tuesday and my surgery date is the following Friday. Do I need to reschedule my vaccine? Will it give me a false positive if tested? Do I need to give it 2 weeks?

Answer: Vaccine and Surgery Thank you for your question. Getting the vaccine shouldn't interfere with anesthesia or the procedures. You will still have to get a covid test before surgery.

Answer: How soon after receiving the second vaccine dose can I have my BBL surgery? There is no evidence of adverse outcomes related to anesthesia and surgery in recently vaccinated patients. However, the systemic effects of recent vaccination especially with the second shot, such as fever and malaise, may be confused with similar symptoms that may arise in the post-operative period. Some guidelines recommend waiting for 1 week after receiving an inactive vaccine before having elective surgery. Your board certified plastic surgeon will know whether to postpone the BBL or not.
