Can a breast augmentation be performed on a person with SVT (supraventricular tachycardia)?

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.

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

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

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!

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
