I got a positive for leukocyte and negative for nitrates on an at home test. Sitting in convenient care right now. No fever. No burning. Just a little uncomfortable. My tummy tuck is scheduled in 2 days and my PS office is closed until tomorrow. I will obviously follow their instructions, but until then, I'm upset. I'm really disappointed about possibly rescheduling.

Answer: Abdominoplasty and UTI? This is something to discuss with your surgeon for sure. However, if you are on antibiotics for the UTI, you are probably safe to proceed with the surgery. A UTI is a localized infection and should not have any contact per say with the surgical planes from an abdominoplasty. Always better to be safe, but if your surgeon feels that it is still ok to proceed than I would go with their recommendation. I hope this helps.

Answer: UTI and abdominoplasty sorry to hear that you may have UTI before your upcoming surgery. Discuss this matter with your plastic surgeon to come up with a plan.if you truly have an infection, it's better to postpone your surgery rather than have postoperative complications. Best of luck!

Answer: Possible UTI- tummy tuck in 2 days! If there is truly an infection, then you will receive treatment and you may have to delay your surgery. However, finding out you have the UTI before surgery is much better than not knowing and subjecting yourself to a higher rate of infection for the tummy tuck.
