Where would the place saline breast implants in a patient with a Pacemaker/ICD? Submuscular or subglandular?

April 24, 2015
Asked By:jessa25 in Florida, FL

I'm 25 years young, 5' 10" and lost about 20 lbs (currently 118) so my device is sitting uncomfortably on my ribs (implanted in my breast tissue) so I was told I'll probably need a pocket revision on the ICD, so where would you put it? So would the breast implants be placed sub muscular or sub glandular, as well as the pacemaker...? Thanks in advance
