If I have had staph infections is plastic surgery not advisable?

February 15, 2023
Asked By:Isolde15

I’m interested in getting a breast lift w/implants. I had 2 suspicious moles removed & 2 days later 1 removal site got infected w/a staph infection despite following the after care instructions (wash & cover with Aquaphor). Sadly, this isn’t the only time I’ve had a staph infection. A couple years ago my hand eczema got staphylococcus haemolyticus. Is cosmetic surgery a bad idea? Is there something about me that makes me prone to staph? I’m 34 w/no conditions &otherwise healthy
