Should I postpone surgery if I am breastfeeding?

Question

Surgery postponed because I am still breastfeeding. Local anesthesia, xylocaine ... Dr. Newman's team tells me that it is safe for my breastfeeding. But they refuse to do the surgery. Who to believe? Dr. Newman or the plastic surgeon's team? Can I proceed with the procedure? According to my pharmacist, we can change their antibiotic to penicillin, so there is still the anesthesia.

Hello Madam, Unfortunately, your question cannot be addressed on this platform, because your surgeon's clinical judgment has been expressed to you, and we cannot go down the slippery slope of questioning his judgment without having all the information and clinical experience. I invite you to contact your surgeon to discuss this further with him or her and, if necessary, to evaluate the alternatives available to you. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist
