Dear Sensible567597,
in case of BA surgery, you will need to be clear of any infection prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

For your safety it is best that you are healthy and free from infection before proceeding with surgery.   I encourage you to discuss the situation with your surgeon who will make the final decision if it is okay for you to proceed with your breast augmentation as planned.

You need to ask your plastic surgeon since your surgeon is the only one who can say yea or nay at this time. If your white count is elevated, you do need to postpone your surgery.
