Hi, I have paid for my Breast Augmentation & was due to go into surgery next week. However, they rang me today to say they have had to cancel surgery due to me having Type 1 Diabetes & that the current situation & Covid 19 would mean I’m more at risk. My sugar levels are stable & I’m otherwise healthy but they are insisting to wait till it’s safer. I’ve wanted this for over 15 years, will I still be able to get it done?
