What should I do if I develop a skin infection before my surgery?


If you notice a significant infection, particularly in the area that is due to be operated on, please notify us at once. A course of antibiotics may be able to control the situation. If not, it may be in your best interest to delay your surgery.

Herpes infections can be particularly problematic. It is important that you avoid coming in for surgery if you have an active herpes infection near the operation site.
