I had to go to a doctor today and was prescribed amoxicillin and allegra-D for my sinuses. Today is Monday, April 12th and my surgery is scheduled on April 21st. Will I be able to have the surgery? I don't feel that bad, but know it's more about the medications than how I feel.

Answer: Sinus Infection Before Breast Augmentation and Liposuction 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.

Answer: Best to wait There seems there might be enough time to treat your sinus infection but sometime it may take up to 3 weeks to effectively treat your sinusitis. You are investing a lot of time and money for your aesthetic surgery. It is best to make sure that you have completely treated so that can set the best stage for an optimal outcome of your aesthetic surgery.

Answer: Postpone breast implant surgery for sinus infection Any active infection may place you at greater risk for problems with implant surgery. While you may be ok given the time frame, it is definitely something to discuss with your plastic surgeon. The inconvenience of having to postpone the surgery may save major problems down the road.

Answer: Infection and breast implants This is clearly a matter of opinion, but it is generally my advice to defer surgery in any cases of active bacterial infection. Generally, this would consist of 10 days of antibiotics followed by another 7-10 days of no symptoms.
