My doctors won't remove my port because my cancer was metastatic (I beat I for now though!) and he believes that removing the port so soon after the completion of my treatment would be premature. I also received lots of Bleomycin (for stage IV Hodgkins Lymphoma) and consequently cannot receive high levels of oxygen without having problems with toxicity. Would that interfere with the procedure to have a lift and BA? PS, would I actually need to have a breast lift?
Answer: Breast augmentation with port Your port will not interfere physically with the procedure. As long as your oncologist clears you for surgery and you have the surgery in an accredited center with a board certified plastic surgeon then your risk should be acceptable. A lift is questionable as it depends on what type of implant and what type of shape you are looking for. It is not mandatory.

Answer: Port is ok Have your surgeon place the implants under the muscle and the port will be no where in the picture when the implants go in. The port sits on top of the muscle. If you need a lift it will be a minor one. Your left breast looks like it has more ptosis than your right. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and they can help you decide on the need for a lift. Also, make sure your oncologist gives you the 'ok' to have elective surgery.
