I have a tonsillectomy coming up and I have my Breast Augmentation in august....instead of taking off 2 weeks for one then 2 weeks a month later can I get these two done in the same week? How long between the two should I wait?

Answer: Time Between Surgeries?
Although there are many surgeries that can be done in combination such as liposuction and abdominoplasty, blepharoplasty and breast augmentation,and breast reduction and abdominoplasty, a tonsillectomy would not be a good choice to combine with a breast augmentation. There is a risk of infection that is unacceptable with this combination.

Answer: Combining surgeries
Infection is perhaps the most significant complication that occurs with breast augmentation. Fortunately, the infection rate overall is very low. If you have a procedure that causes bacteria to enter your bloodstream, however, like dental work or a tonsillectomy, then risk of a breast implant infection increases. I would recommend having the tonsillectomy first, then waiting for the augmentation until the tonsillectomy is healing well, probably at least a few weeks.
