Will a gynecomastia surgery be rescheduled if I have a mild cold?

Hello, Thank you for your question. I'd recommend speaking with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to see what their policy is. Take care. 

You will have to discuss with your surgeon.  In my practice, we would probably proceed with most non-implant elective surgeries in the face of a mild upper respiratory illness such as a mild "cold" as long as the patient is not having a fever and not experiencing increased cough or chest secretions. 

Generally speaking, patients undergoing elective surgery should be at their optimal (or close to) level of health prior to proceeding. It is especially important that there be no compromise of pulmonary function or active source of infection present.Your plastic surgeon will be the only relevant resource when it comes to determining your ability to proceed at the time of surgery.Best wishes.
