Does HPV limit your ability to have breast implants

Michael C. Edwards, MD answers: Should HPV infected patients not get breast implants?

Hepatitis B carrier should not get breast implants--one of the consideration for getting breast implants is to make sure that you are not infected. What if I am a hepatatis B carrier and I have HPV. Am I not a candiate for Breast Implants

Amiee,

You general health should be stable for you to have elective breast augmentation. Your safety should be the first and main consideration. That having been said, if your hepatitis is not currently causing a problem and the HPV is not flaring, you should be OK . It is vitally important that you make sure your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist know about your complete and thorough health history. More than anything it will affect the anesthetic you have for your surgery. I hop this helps.
