Sick before breast lift and augmentation. Would it be okay to have my surgery if my fever is gone by next week?

Asked By:Pak1122 in Sacramento, California

I just got sick, fever of 101, sore throat and small cough 8 days before my surgery. Would I be okay to have my surgery if my fever is gone by next week? Would I be facing extra risks? Not sure when to reach out to my plastic surgeon to notify them in the case I do get better in the next coming days
