You need to be free of the MRSA

Richard P. Rand, 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?

As long as you are totally free of infection in the breast and have been properly cultured to see if you are not an MRSA carrier, you can have breast implants.  You might carry a slightly higher risk of infection and realize that infected implants are treated by removal as antibiotics cannot cure an implant infection.
