I am having lipo surgery today and woke up with a mild sore throat. Will this affect my surgery?

Thanks for your question. Best is to make sure your surgeon knows about it so he/she can examine you and decide whether is safe to procede with the surgery or not. 

You need to contact your doctor and ask them. If you are just have sedation I cannot imagine it making a difference. If you are going to sleep  you might want to wait.

I recommend telling your surgeon so they can help you make a decision as to whether you should go forward with your treatment. You have swelling, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
