Is There Any Reasons That You Cannot Get a Flu Shot the Day Before You Have Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Hi! Thank you for your question,


I am Dr. Speron, a proud member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS).  I am also certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.


To answer your question, I would not recommend a flu shot the day before but the best thing to do is to consult with your plastic surgeon and see what they recommend you to do.


Below are some links for additional information and before and after pictures.

Probably not but why take any risk? I would get it a week before or do it after the surgery. You could possibly develop symptoms after the surgery which could be confusing. 

I don't think the flu shot creates any risk for a breast augmentation however some patients develop flulike symptoms including fever that might cause postponement of the case.
