Can I still have plastic surgery if on antibiotics due to tonsillitis?

Many doctors stick by the principal that we don't operate if there is any focus of infection. This is especially true for elective surgery. I am sure you would never want to compromise a surgery which is supposed to be exciting and fun with and infection that could potentially ruin everything.

If you were my patient, I would postpone the surgery. As stated by other physicians, elective surgery should be performed when you are in good health.Consult with your surgeon for his/her recommendation.Best wishes and good luck with your arm lift and breast lift.

Elective surgery, plastic surgery or otherwise, should be done under the best conditions. Ideally, you should not have any infections, and ideally, you should be off antibiotics for two weeks before having surgery. Just being on antibiotics puts you are higher risk for a postoperative infection. Safer surgery is better surgery. Be safe.
