Will I be fine if I am coughing at time of breast augmentation surgery?

November 4, 2018
Asked By:lollydm

I came down with the flu two weeks before my surgery date. I recovered from the flu just fine but I still have this deep, productive cough that I can’t kick, and my surgery is the day after tomorrow. I really don’t want to postpone the surgery. I know it will be very painful to cough during recovery. I am getting 400cc under the muscle and a crescent lift. But aside from extra pain, I should be fine right?
