Are there increased risks if you catch COVID after liposuction?

Asked By:coolsculptcurious in Toronto, ON

I am a 30 y/o healthy female (normal BMI) looking to get lipo of the medial thigh. Would catching COVID in the post-op period significantly increase the risk of serious complications from the surgery (such as blood clots) or increase the risk of COVID developing into a more serious infection (requiring ventilation or causing death) because you are essentially immunocompromised after surgery? How long should I quarantine after surgery so there are no longer increased risks if COVID is contracted?
