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: Tonsillectomy and breast augmentation
Yes both could be done within a week but I do not believe that you will feel great if you do. Either do both under one anesthesia or give yourself more time in between. Good luck.

Answer: Time between surgeries You need to talk to the two surgeons involved. The main issue will be the swelling and pain of the tonsillectomy. You will likely need about two weeks between procedures and it would not really matter which one you do first. Good luck!

Answer: Tonsillectomy and breast augmentation
Although it is nice to combine procedures and minimize downtime, I would keep your current operative schedule the way it is. You will be well healed from the tonsillectomy by august and will avoid possible problems caused by combining these operations. In elective cosmetic surgery we like to minimize risk. There is a theoretical concern that bacteria can enter the bloodstream during the tonsillectomy and contaminate the breast implant leading to infection or capsular contracture. Although inconvenient I would recommend two separate procedures 4-6 weeks apart. Good luck.

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.

Answer: Although breast augmentation is often combined with other operations, sometimes it's better to stagger the procedures.
I agree with the answers that you have already received. The recovery from the tonsillectomy is substantial in adult and I would caution against doing these procedures at the same time.
