Hello Kelsey, the conservative approach is to likely treat the infection and delay your surgery. Your plastic surgeon may have a different opinion. Please call him/her today.Mark K Markarian, MD, MSPHHarvard-trained Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon
Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Because of the active infection present I would delay your surgery until you are fully healed. Please discuss this with your surgeon asap, they can offer you the best treatment recommendation.
