It turned out that a week before my scheduled surgery, I caught a cold. I went on antibiotics immediately to prevent a sinus infection, but I was still congested the day before the surgery. I called the plastic surgeon to get her recommendation, and we decided to postpone it. Apparently, the sinus cavities run all throughout the face, and an infection in them can really ruin the healing process so it was better to wait til I was all clear. In addition, the anesthesiologist wanted to wait until I was completely clear as well. This pushed my operation back 3 weeks, which was a hassle but I figured worth it in the long run.
