Will I need to postpone my breast implant removal if I have a tooth infection? Would my infection affect surgery in any way?

I’ve got my breast implant removal book in a few weeks. I’ve got a dental abscess and currently on antibiotics for it. My dentist is wanting to wait a while before doing the root canal so it won’t be done before my surgery. Should my surgery be postponed or would this not affect it.
