I have a Rhinoplasty coming up and a tooth infection is present. Can I still undergo surgery?

I would not recommend a rhinoplasty with an infection anywhere, particularly in the face. An infection in a rhinoplasty can be very serious. You should see your surgeon before hand or consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery. In the meantime, you should have a full course of antibiotics to eliminate your gum infection entirely.

Performing surgery on a patient with an existing infection can increase the risk of an infection developing at the surgical site. Ask your dentist what he/she recommends as far as an antibobiotic. Even though your surgery is in another country, you should email or phone your surgeon's office for advice.

This is not the place to ask such a question. You need to reach out to your surgeon. However if you were my patient I woud postpone your surgery until you had completed a full course of antibiotics and there was no evidence of infection.
