Breast implants in immunocompromised patients.
The two issues at stake here are the use of a prosthetic devices when you are immunocompromised and the effect of anesthesia on your transplanted kidney. We use implants all the time in patients undergoing chemotherapy (think breast reconstruction) with a very low incidence of infection and thus this is not a direct contraindication. As for the kidney issues with surgery, coordinating your surgery with involvement of your nephrologist is key. The bottom line is yes, you can have a...

Implants on immunosuppression
Like any thing else there are risks and being on immuno suppression will slightly increase the risk.If you are otherwise heaklthy and your internist reviews your recent labs and all is okay then I think it would be fine.

Transplants and cosmetic surgery
Immunosuppression is not a contraindication for implants. Obviously, any endeavor should be coordinated with your transplant nephrologist for clearance. Otherwise, if you are doing well from your transplant, you should see a board certified plastic surgeon for your consultation.

Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Breast Augmentation after Renal Transplantation?
Thank you for the question.

Best wishes.

Implants after renal transplant
Unlike your previous surgeries, breast implants are completely elective procedures. This changes the risk benefit ratio. All surgery has risk associated with it. It is one thing to undergo surgery to correct a condition that if uncorrected will make you sicker as opposed to taking those same risks for surgery to correct a condition that does not affect your health even though it does affect the way you feel about yourself. The only ones who can help you determine whether for you the benefits...
