I have SVT (supraventricular tachycardia), and my primary care doctor said an ablation procedure isn't necessary. I haven't mentioned to him that I am cosidering getting a BA (implants) because this diagnosis is new and I want to get to the botton of it, first. If no procedure is necessary, is it possible to have a BA? What are the risks pertaining to this condition? Should I get a second opinion?
Answer: SVT and breast augmentation Thank you for your question. My strong advice would be to obtain clearance from a cardiologist in order to proceed safely with your breast augmentation procedure. Best of luck.

Answer: BA and SVT Dear rz91,as long as you get a clearance from your cardiologist, then you should be safe. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Can you have surgery when you have a heart issue Thanks for your question. It is certainly possible to have a breast augmentation even though he might have a cardiac issue. The best and safest Idea is to see a cardiologist firstAnd make sure thatYou are medically Cleared to have an operation. It would be difficult for you to see a plastic surgeon get your hopes up that you could have an operation and have your cardiologist tell you that it would be unsafe to have the surgery. A procedure can be performed on anybody. But the risks certainly must not outweigh the benefits of an operation. Remember that a breast augmentation is an elective procedure. Once you're medically cleared, please find a board-certified plastic surgeon to help Give you the breast of your dreams.All the best,Carlos Mata,M.D.,MBA,FACS

Answer: Breast augmentation with any heart issues Hi. Yes, it is definitely possible to have your breast augmentation. But I would suggest that you go for a consultation with a cardiologist so that he/she can make sure there is nothing to do for your heart before, during, or after surgery that would limit any risks. Best of luck!

Answer: Pt with SVT:Can BAm be performed? Hi zz07, Consult with your cardiologist and please be upfront with your intention to have a BAM. Ask him/her if your condition is stable enough for you to have this surgery safely. Ask him/her if you need to have any medication or cardiology procedure before to have a safe surgery.If you are cleared, you really should be sure to see a Board certified plastic surgeon and consider strongly about having the surgery in a hospital setting. Best,Dr. Christine Rodgers
