Is it safe to get COVID vaccine the same week of a scheduled Breast Augmentation surgery a couple days prior to surgery?

I appreciate your concerns, but you may want to put off your breast augmentation for a week or so after your Covid vaccine. Usually there is minimal reaction to the vaccine, but some people have had significant flu like symptoms for several days after being vaccinated. Discuss this issue with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

There is no evidence of adverse outcomes related to anesthesia and surgery in recently vaccinated patients. However, the systemic effects of recent vaccination especially with the second shot, such as fever and malaise, may be confused with similar symptoms that may arise in the post-operative period. Some guidelines recommend waiting for 1 week after receiving an inactive vaccine before having elective surgery as you want to feel as well as possible for the surgery and recovery. Your board certified plastic surgeon will know whether to postpone the BAM or not.
