Can I go into surgery with cough?

I appreciate your concerns. Sorry to hear about the cough!I always recommend that my breast augmentation patients be in the best health possible while undergoing surgery. If you are unsure about the state of your health and how this may affect your procedure, it is important to let your doctor know beforehand. If they determine that you are in good enough health to proceed, then the surgery will move forward as planned. If they decide to postpone your surgery while you recover from a cold or flu, keep in mind they are doing this ultimately for your safety.

If you have questions about whether you’re healthy enough to have surgery, please contact your board certified plastic surgeon. best of luck!

Any form of cosmetic surgery is totally elective and safety is the number one concern. I have cancelled cases even the morning of surgery with the patient already in the hospital if they had a caugh that was new and not a chronic condition. You are better be safe than sorry.
