Hi there, I am scheduled to have breast enlargement surgery shortly but I have noticed my toe nail has a slight discolouration to them yellow but not much hard to tell tbh if this is infection or not but is it still safe to have surgery with a fungal toe nail? Thank you
Answer: Surgery Go let your medical doctor check to see if you actually have a fungus or just discoloration from using too much nail polish. It is best not to have an augmentation with an active infection.

Answer: BA candidate Dear sarah97khbb, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Toenail fungus Not to worry! You can continue with your surgery as planned despite a possible toenail fungus. It is always best to discuss concerns with your surgeon but it is not a contraindication for this procedure.

Answer: Breast Augmentation A fungal toenail infection may not directly impact your breast enlargement surgery, as the procedure primarily focuses on the chest area. However, it's crucial to ensure that you are in good overall health before undergoing any surgery. This includes addressing any potential infections or conditions that could affect your well-being. I recommend contacting your plastic surgeon's office and informing them about your toenail concern. They may advise you to see a healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist or podiatrist, to evaluate the condition and determine if it requires treatment before proceeding with your breast enlargement surgery. Your surgeon and their medical team will have your best interests in mind and will provide you with guidance on whether it's safe to proceed with surgery or if any additional measures need to be taken to address the toenail issue. It's always important to prioritize your health and ensure that you are in the optimal condition for any surgical procedure. Best of luck !

Answer: Toe nail fungus and breast augmentation Onychomycosis is not a contraindication for breast augmentation using implants. If it were, many women would be restricted form having them (it is quite common unfortunately). Best wishes, Dr. Taranow
