History of MRSA and Breast implants

Steven Wallach, MD answers: Breast Implants for patient with history of MRSA?

Can I get Breast implants, even with a history of MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) in my left breast due to mastitis?

A history of MRSA and a desire to have implants are two different things. If you were treated for your mastitis, and it sounds like you did, then I do not see a specific contraindication if it is several months after treatment.  Can you get an infection again, sure..like anyone else.
