I am booked for a tummy tuck and breast lift in a week. A few weeks ago I damaged my knee during exercise (no pain during incident and continued to walk after). It started swelling, with very mild to no pain. It has been MRI confirmed as a lateral miniscus tear. I have emailed the surgery but it is Friday so won’t hear back until Monday. Is it likely that the surgeon will agree to the surgery with this new diagnosis? I am 42, healthy, no underlying conditions, non smoker/drinker.
