Surgery after EBV-diagnosis?

Question

Hi! I got my mononucleosis (EBV) diagnosis today. I’m pretty sure I’ve been having it for like two months now though, since the symptoms have been there for as long as that. I’m feeling quite okay now, despite being tired and having a sore throat. I’m to have my breast augmentation (implants) surgery on november 27th, do you think it’ll be safe to undergo the surgery then? I’m young and healthy women with no history of any sort of autoimmune diseases neither with me or in the family.

Dear Gorgeous986169,
you should be healthy prior to elective procedures but you still have some time until your surgery date. I suggest you consult and discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Your surgeon will evaluate and decide if you are medically stable for surgery. A related example of concern would be an often associated low platelet count which could promote bleeding. Good luck and may your surgery be safe and successful. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA

This question needs to be answered by your surgeon and anesthesiologist.  I encourage you to contact them as soon as it's convenient to discuss your situation.  Labs may be needed closer to your surgery date as well.  The fact that your surgery is nearly two months away will be helpful.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

I would suggest asking your medical doctor if you are cleared to have surgery now or need to wait. Surgery is a stress and stress can increase your symptoms and take longer to heal.
