Will they reschedule my surgery after medical clearance test before surgery?

Asked By:pfougeron in Avon Park, Florida

I am scheduled for my breast augmentation on May 19th. I had blood test for medical clearance and the results came back with high white blood cell count and high potassium. My doctor put me on antibiotics and she is going to retest me on Monday. My doctor indicated that the test results are showing that I have some kind of infection in my body. I don’t have any symptoms of being sick at all. Is this something that happens often? I am confused! Will they reschedule my surgery?
