My BA surgery is tomorrow at 2pm & I woke up with a UTI today (I get them often). I have already taken one dose of antibiotics and can get in 2 more doses before surgery time. I've already bawled my eyes out because I won't be able to reschedule my surgery this year. I already took time off work for this with months of planning. Is there any chance my surgeon will still allow me to have the surgery as planned?

I recommend that my patients not swim for 2 weeks after breast augmentation surgery. By 2 weeks you should also be able to sleep on your side. Of course it is very important that you follow the specific advice of your plastic surgeon and not follow advice from Internet opinions.
