Hi & thanks for your question
It depends on the surgeon. Call around to different practices for their protocol regarding covid vaccines and testing prior to surgery. Best wishes!

You’ll probably find different requirements with different surgeons. They may require a Covid nasal swab test a few days before surgery

Dear Trustworthy719126,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Hello
This is going to depend on both the physician and the facility. Some surgeons are very strict while others are less cautious. The same can be said on facility. I would call and ask your preferred office ahead of time, this is something a basic receptionist can likely answer for you.

Most facilities and most surgeons do not require you to be fully vaccinated, but will test to make sure you are COVID negative or have no fever or symptoms.

Bruce K. Smith, MD · Answer

If you are not vaccinated, most hospitals are requiring a negative Covid test within 5 days of surgery. You do not have to be fully vaccinated to undergo elective surgery, including breast augmentation.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Each surgeon will have her/his protocols with regard to COVID which could also be influenced by the facility where the procedure is performed.  A negative COVID test may be required regardless of vaccine status.  Speak to your surgeon to find out more.
