Getting sick before surgery. Will I have to reschedule it? And will elderberry syrup effect anesthesia negatively?

Thank you for your question. You should call your PS and see what they think. If you are not running a fever you should be okay. The Plastic Surgeon may suggest you see your Primary Care Physician. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Thank you for your question. If in the unfortunate circumstance that you get sick before your surgery, you may have postpone your surgery until you are better again. If you are feeling sick, I would discuss with your surgeon who may help you decide depending on your individual symptoms.

It is safer to be free of any cold prior to surgery. Your surgery may need to be postponed, so please tell your surgeon as soon as possible.

You should contact your PS ASAP to let them decide about whether you should reschedule.  As for the syrup - I don't know anything about it.

Call your surgeon right away to find out his or her policy. You may need to postpone your surgery until you feel better. If you have a fever, you should reschedule your surgery.

I am sorry to hear about your concerns prior to your day of surgery. Generally speaking, patients undergoing elective surgery should be at their optimal (or close to) level of health prior to proceeding. It is especially important that there be no compromise of pulmonary function or active source of infection present.
Your plastic surgeon will be the only relevant resource when it comes to determining what you can take prior to surgery and your ability to proceed at this time.
Best wishes.

If you have an elevated temperature on the morning of surgery then it will most likely be postponed for your safety. Hopefully you will be fully recovered prior to the procedure.

Thank you for your question.If you feel like you are really getting sick and you won´t be better by surgery day, then my suggestion is to reschedule it. You don´t want any complications during or after surgery. You can always have surgery!

Any elective surgery, and especially cosmetic surgery, should be performed under ideal circumstances, period!! If you are sick or have any infection in your body, the surgery needs to be re-scheduled, no questions answered.

You need to call your plastic surgeon and report the illness. Of course, your preop testing should have picked up any changes in white blood count. If you are ill, then surgery should be postponed. You are not doing yourself any favors by trying to go forward. If you have an infection, it can "seed" the implants. Also the anesthesiologist may decline to participate in the procedure. I know that you have been waiting a long time but the right thing is to postpone for a short period of time. Just because you don't have a fever today doesn't mean that the symptoms will be gone by Friday. Best wishes.
