I am on my second round of antibiotics for the UTI as symptoms are still present. I have been tested for all STD's which were all negative. It is a UTI as I have had many before. I have asked my surgeon and she told me to ask my PCP, my PCP did not know. Thank you

Answer: Tummy Tuck and UTI Hello and thank you for the question. Obviously, your plastic surgeon has the final say in this, as he/she has the ultimate responsibility for your well-being. Having said that, as long as this is an uncomplicated UTI and is being adequately treated (meaning that you are on the right antibiotic regimen), it should be OK to go ahead with your surgery as planned. Your PS is your best resource. Best,

Answer: Antibiotics Your surgeon will be the one to decide if you should proceed with surgery. However, if you have been on antibiotics for at least a week and have symptoms mainly related to your bladder and no fever, no elevated white blood cell counts, etc, you probably should be fine. It would be best to wait so your body can focus on healing from surgery and not fight an infection at the same time.
