Can you advise on covid vaccine before cosmetic surgery?

Question

Hello :) I have as surgery (mini tummy tuck and bbl) scheduled on 4th of July and I got my first dose of vaccine in the 26th, I am concerned if I should postpone it as my doc give blood thinning medication too before surgery! Thank you in advance for your help.

You need to discuss this situation with your surgeon as he/she will be the one determining if it is okay to proceed with surgery.  Your surgeon is most familiar with the details of your surgery as well as your medical history.  Generally speaking, it should be fine for you to proceed as planned.

Dear Terrific464639,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

At this time patients should be fully vaccinated before having any elective surgical procedure. That means two weeks after the second dose. This is to protect you and all the people who will be working around you during your surgery.

Your procedure should not have been scheduled until you’ve been fully vaccinated.

This is something you need to discuss with your provider.

Getting blood thinners for surgery is he relevant to your Covid vaccination.
Best,
