Recent appendectomy

Hello,

I just recently had an appendectomy on 2/6/24 and am looking forward to having a BA in April before my bday. Is that too soon or should I wait? My procedure went great. No complications or infections. I’m just wondering if I should move forward with scheduling.

Procedure: Breast Augmentation
Location: las vegas, NV

If your Appendectomy does not present eny complications and your recovery is a good one, then having Breast Augmentation is perfectly safe in April.

Should not be any problem but you should ask this question to your general surgeon and plastic surgeon.

Hello! As long as you are healing well from the appendectomy, without any infection, there should be no problem with undergoing breast augmentation in April. As always, check with your Plastic Surgeon (who will be doing the breast augmentation) and General Surgeon (who did the appendectomy) to make sure that they agree and there are no other issues with your specific case :)
