Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

This question is best answered by your surgeon as opinions may vary.  Your surgeon is most familiar with the details of your surgery and medical background, in addition to how you've been progressing through recovery.

Ryan E. Austin, MD · Answer

Hi, thanks for your question. Please discuss this with your surgeon as they will have their own post-operative guidelines that should be carefully followed. You will want to give your body ample time to recover following your surgery, as the Covid vaccine can carry some side effects for a couple of days after.

Hello @Philosophical359037 I appreciate your question. It something that depends on your doctors instructions. I recommend my patients to have the vaccine 3 to 4 weeks after the surgery. Best wishes!

Dear Philosophical359037,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Since surgery requires healing and your immune system in good shape, I would suggest waiting at least 2 months to 3 before getting any vaccine.  Please do not take it at the same time.
