It is very unlikely that the presence of a cold sore will cause a delay of your surgery. Of course, your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes  to a relevant response. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Nicholas Tarola, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  A cold sore alone should have no impact on your breast augmentation.  While you should make your surgeon aware, your surgery will likely not be delayed.

Thank you for your question. A cold sore should not greatly impact your breast augmentation . If you have concerns I would discuss this with your surgeon. Best wishesTheodore T. Nyame MD

Your question is not silly.  Please call your plastic surgeon for advice because each surgeon would manage this differently.  At a minimum I would suggest that you be treated with an antiviral such as acyclovir.
