I am finally getting over my cold but now I have an ear infection. I have not taken any antibiotics just Tylenol. I’m scheduled for breast augmentation surgery in 8 days on 2/4. Will this make me have Capsular contracture or have any cons for Post OP recovery?
Answer: Post Op Capsular Contracture Hi lovejanedoe,Capsular contracture is a condition that occur when the tissue surrounding the implant area tightens and contracts around the implant, resulting in unnaturally firm, distorted breast shapes that can sometimes be painful.

Answer: Tell your surgeon Usually, surgery is postponed until after sickness or infection clears up. This is for your safety, as it can increase your risk of developing complications and prolong your recovery. For this reason, I recommend telling your surgeon as soon as you can about your condition.

Answer: Cold / flu with elective surgery Great question! I always err on the conservative side. Since this is an elective procedure, you would want to decrease the risk as much as possible. If you have an active infection, then yes it can lead to an increase rate of capsular contracture as the bacteria circulating in your blood can seed onto the implant. I would recommend you wait until you feel better to have the surgery. Again this is an elective procedure so there is no rush! Best to stay safe.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Answer: Cold or Flu before Breast Augmentation. Will this make me have capsular contracture? Recent illnesses that have resolved should not pose a risk. I would, however, avoid placing breast implants while there is an active infection anywhere in the body, as I am unable to justify taking any potentially increased risk for an electively scheduled procedure.Ear infections may worsen under anesthesia, and an active infection may increase the risk of implant complications.I would recommend contacting your surgeon as soon as possible to discuss the situation and determine the best way to proceed.Best wishes.
