Should I delay my fat transfer surgery if I'm having a herpes outbreak in the buttock area where the fat will be transfered?
Answer: A herpes outbreak IS a reason to delay surgery YES! Absolutely! Of course! Why take a risk, chance on anything going wrong? I would delay your surgery, start on anti viral meds and recovery over the next 2 to 4 weeks.

Answer: Fat injections A fever blister, or herpes, can cause a secondary colonization of bacteria on the skin which might infect the fat, even if the surgical site is not right on the sore. It is best to wait for the sore to heal and no crust remain prior to doing the procedure.

Answer: A Herpes infection SHOULD Delay an Elective Surgery Every surgery has risks. While some risks are unforeseeable and therefore unavoidable occasionally, such as in your case, we are confronted with avoidable risk. There is NO reason to risk serious infection by operating on you while you are actively infected in the area of the surgery. That would be taking on a totally unnecessary risks which would go away if the operation was delayed until after the infection has resolved.
