I had to reschedule my surgery twice due to other medical reasons. Finally I went through treatment, got clearance and ready to go. 2 days ago I woke up with scratchy throat and chest pain. Should I reschedule again? Mucinex really helps. Called my doctor and explained the situation. He said that that it is up to me to have it done or reschedule. What are the risks? Can I still get it done and control my cough with Mucinex Postop?

Answer: Breast augmentation and breast lift - patient safety although, it is totally understandable that you would like to go ahead with your surgery after having rescheduled twice already. But your safety should be highest priority, even if it means you will need to postpone again. You should see/discuss this with your surgeon and anesthesiologist.Hope this helps

Answer: Breast surgery with a cough and congestion Moshka81: I would meet with your surgeon and the anesthesia provider and discuss your symptoms. Since cosmetic surgery is completely elective, there is no need to take on any extra risk. In my opinion, if there is any concern that you are sick with a virus or any other temporary ailment, I prefer to postpone elective surgery until you feel healthy again. I also worry about any current bacterial infection contaminating the clean implant which is another reason why I wait. I would meet with your doctor to determine the cause of your symptoms and the best course of action. Best of luck.
