Hello Plastic Surgery Gods and Godesses! I just came down with a runny nose, headache and watery eyes. No fever, sore throat or coughing. My mommy makeover is in 9 days. How do you determine whether or not to reschedule due to illness? Thanks!

Answer: Respiratory infection and surgery If your symptoms get progressively worse, then I would consider waiting until things resolve before having surgery. I would also notify your plastic surgeon's office and discuss this in advance and have a contingency plan in terms of rescheduling now to be safe or waiting until your surgical date comes closer. Ideally, you want to be at your best before surgery because it is a big procedure and your body need to be healthy to heal.

Answer: Patients should be healthy going into a mommy makeover. If you are recovering from a cold it's not necessary to cancel the procedure. An emerging virus would cause the operation to be postponed. All of this will be the decision of your own surgeon and anesthesiologist.
