I am due to have my implants removed in 5 days but have developed oral thrush (I've had it before) should I delay my surgery?

Your plastic surgeon has been informed that you have been diagnosed with oral thrush and is prescribing strong antibiotics three days prior to surgery.  If the antibiotic does not resolve the condition, your surgeon may recommend that you reschedule. That decision should be left to your surgeon and his anesthesiologist.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

It is best to have all infection cleared before surgery.  The best person to advise you is your surgeon.  Hopefully you can receive treatment right away and be ok for surgery.

Thank you for sharing your question.  In cases of an elective surgical procedure it would be wise to clear any residual infection to help maximize your medical condition.  Talk to your surgeon though as they know the full details of your health history and anticipated operation.  Hope this helps.
