Sinus irritation, post nasal drip. Breast Implant Exchange in 3 days. Do I need to cancel?

Question

I have post nasal drip making my throat a little sore. Some facial pressure, but it is the season. I can breathe through my nose and my mucus is either clear or a little white. I already cancelled once bc of getting chest pain checked (just gas apparently). And now this, do I need to cancel? Will they check my sinuses before surgery at the office?

Inform your plastic surgeon immediately; he/she and the board certified anesthesiologist will need to determine whether it is wise to proceed with your surgery or reschedule it.

Dear Gentle874731,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

I would suggest discussing this with your surgeon. Every surgeon has his/her preference about doing present surgery with sinus drainage.
