Hello! I tested covid positive on monday May 30 and have a rhinoplasty to reduce dorsal hump and correct deviated septum on June 28. The surgeon is hesitant. My symptoms included scratchy throat (no cough, no fever), body aches for 1-2 days and fatigue. I am vaccinated. The surgeon is hesitant to proceed as it may impact my healing process.
