They may opt to give you nasal spray pre-operatively. Maybe call your surgeon and ask about that, and if you can take cold medicine before surgery. :-)
I agree with Jan. Call your plastic surgeon and explain this to him. They can give you something to help you with your allergies that shouldn't have any effect on your surgery.
Good luck, Angie0 -

We have had the same problem here! It's awful! My counts have been high and low and I figured they wouldn't even do my Chemo, but being that I get Benadryl with the treatments, they have gone ahead with it. When I had my port put in, I was horribly congested so they gave me a breathing treatment & a steroid beforehand. So, to answer your ?, I would guess it depends on your counts foremost and then it's up to the surgeon. I know how you feel, postponing is horrible and nerve wrecking! Hope all goes well. Let us know how you make out.

Definitely both your surgeon and anesthesiologist need to be aware of your problem.
Good Luck0
