I just found out I have an uti. I have augmentation surgery tomorrow, will this interfere with my surgery?

It won't necessarily interfere with your surgery, but because this surgery is elective, my personal recommendation would be to postpone your surgery until you have recovered. 

A basic concept is never to undergo elective surgery if you have an active infection. This is particularly true when dealing with breast augmentation in that you do not want to risk infecting the implants. The best advice would be to postpone your surgery until your uti is treated and you have a negative urine culture and urinalysis. 

You never want to have an elective surgery in the face of any infection. I would have my patient postpone the procedure until things are back to normal. Good luck!

I would NOT recommend having a breast augmentation surgery to our patients if there's an active UTI, but you should speak with your own surgeon.

Let your surgeon know about your UTI. They will likely wanted it treated before performing your surgery.

Hi and thanks for your question. In my opinion, it is safest to reschedule your procedure until the UTI is treated and you repeat UA to make sure the antibiotics have cleaned the UTI. I know this is probably upsetting for you, but its better to be safe than sorry. Best of luck !

Thank you for your question.  Breast implantation should not be performed at the time of an active UTI.  My strong advice is to consult with your plastic surgeon as soon as possible.  Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Unfortunately I would recommend delaying your surgery until you have cleared your UTI.  It is unwise to place implants in the face of an infection as it can cause secondary complications.  Talk to your surgeon immediately to let them know of your UTI.

Breast implants are essentially foreign bodies.  If you have circulating bacteria from a UTI it may cause infection in the breast implants.  For my patients, I would delay surgery until the infection is cleared.

It's best to delay elective surgery until you clear your infection. Your chances of developing a breast implant infection are higher than normal in the setting of an active urinary tract infection. Speak to your plastic surgeon about this.
