Question

Sanjay Lalla, MD, FACS · Answer

hello. Performing a Brazilian buttock lift involves harvesting fat from liposuction and augmenting the buttocks.  It should be fine with a nail infection  it won't get into the fat---but you could have that treated beforehand anyway

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.The fungal nail infection has to be treated before having surgery, so the risks of cross infection does not occur.Keep in touch with your plastic surgeon, that way he can tell you the instructions to fallow.Good luck :)

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

While it is unlikely that a nail fungal infection would be a problem, it is probably safest to treat that first so that there is no cross contamination.
