My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9 AM. I just got my acrylic nails taken off and noticed one of them is slightly green. Is this fungus? Is it an infection? How do I tell the difference? Is it safe to proceed with the breast augmentation? Can it cause capsular contracture if it is an infection? ): HELP!

Hi. Based on your bra size a 400cc should not be too big. Always remember that the size of the implant capable of being inserted and still look natural is always determined by the soft tissue coverage. THis is particularly true of women who have not had kids. Good luck, Dr. PG
