Should I delay my BBL surgery even with a very minor herpes outbreak?

glamgirl_
I am traveling to colombia to get a bbl done. I’ve had herpes 1 but in the buttocks area for 3 years now. I rarely get outbreaks. I have one small bump on my inner butt cheek. I started taking valacyclovir twice a day for 4 days now & It’s already healing. My surgery is in 4 days, on friday. I plan on taking the pills until then & after as well. Is it still necessary to reschedule my surgery?
