Can I get a chemical peel a day before my breast revision surgery?

Question

Hi I was wondering if it would be ok to get a chemical peel the day before my breast revision surgery? I figured since I’ll have downtime, it would be a good time to get one.

While getting a chemical peel the day before breast revision surgery won't interfere with the procedure you're having, you will be healing from multiple procedures at the same time. If you don't mind the discomfort, the timing is perfect :)

It depends on which type of chemical peel you are getting and to which areas. Most TCA peels to the face only should be safe. I would recommend refraining from any peels that require general anesthesia, peels to the neck/chest, and phenol peels.
