Scraped knee was/is infected. Can I have breast augmentation surgery tomorrow? (photo)

yul4k
I have a breast augmentation surgery scheduled for tomorrow. About a week ago I fell on pavement and scraped my knee. There was/is an infection. My surgeon said if there is an active infection, he will likely not be able to proceed with a surgery. I formed a yellow scab over the wound. Pic attached. Will I be able to have a surgery tomorrow?
