Just got hives 3 weeks before Breast Augmentation - can my surgeon still do the procedure?

February 27, 2022
Asked By:Thoughtful95212 in Sudbury, Massachusetts

My scheduled breast augmentation is in 3 weeks. I broke out in hives (possibly my detergent) and my PCP put me on prednisone. They have been flaring up in the morning. I am now panicking my surgeon won’t do the surgery. The hives are not on my breast, but stomach and arms. I am afraid that I will now have to pay hundreds of dollars to reschedule when i had no control over it. What should i do?
