Will Stomach Virus Mean Postponing Surgery Date?

Perry, its better to postpone your surgery until you are healthy. There is no need to rush your elective surgery when you have infection in your body. As always, inform your board certified Plastic surgeon of your condition.

Always consult with your surgeon if you are feeling sick prior to surgery. If a patient has fever, vomiting, or possible dehydration, surgery should be cancelled.

Dear Perry,

thank you for your question. It is most important that you are healthy for your surgery and that your immune system and digestive system are in top shape.  Please speak with your surgeon and postpone if necessary. There are many supplements that can help with your recovery, preparation and recovery from Surgery!

 

With Warm Regards,
