I am scheduled for breast augmentation surgery on 1/21/16. i got a cortisone injection in my piriformis on 1/11/16. is it safe to get the surgery?

Ok, but ch with Surg: The piriformis injection should generally NOT preclude the surgery you are scheduled for, but you need to discuss and disclose this information with your surgeon to be sure they are aware of it, and ultimately, they will decide when the surgery will take place. Good luck.
