Have High Hsv 1 Igg, Negative Hsv, Hep C. Will It Be Safe To Go For Cosmetic Surgery?

Your question is a very good one and I will work on providing you with some information and recommendations.
The most common way in which individuals contract herpes simplex type one is by kissing other individuals. Quite often this virus is actually past two children when older adults kiss them on the cheek or on the lip. It is impossible to actually pinpoint when you might have contracted the virus but it is not really important at this time.
Regarding your surgery the elevated IgG Will not have any type of impact on your healing. If you have active rash or cold sore this would be something that your doctor would preferred that you keep under control prior to any surgery. You might also ask your doctor if it would be necessary to take some type of prophylactic antiviral medication before or after the surgery. I really do not think this is indicated but it would be a reasonable question for you to ask the surgeon.
Thanks again for sending your question. Again I want to reassure you that there should really be no problem with your history of this virus regarding a successful outcome of your cosmetic surgery.
Thanks again for sharing your concern with us. Please let me know if you have any additional specific questions for discussion.
