Removal of breast implants and other procedures

I would make sure that all of your doctors are okay with you having this procedure.  You may want them to call one another to discuss the risks and benefits of your surgery before you proceed.

Medical problems

You most certainly need an MD anesthesiologist because you have restrictive lung disease.  This procedure regarding your sternum will need to be discussed with him.

Alhough some nerve blocks have neeb described for this locaiton, they are generally not going to be used by the typical anesthesioloist  In my limited knowledge fo Iam NOt ware of any local options for correction of the sternum. see video

Breast implant removal and sternal defect

WIthout an exam it is tough to say.  With poor pulmonary function you wouyld definitely need a work-up.  Depending on what needs to be done with your sternum may be the biggest risk.

Medical evaluation is needed

In a situation such as this you are best served by meeting with a qualified board certified plastic surgeon who can speak with your medical doctors about what needs to be done (if anything) and thoroughly review all of your risks and medical issues so that you can make an informed decision about your choices.   Good luck!
