Is it safe to have a BA if you've had a previous heart problem?

February 16, 2018
Asked By:justenne in Bakersfield, CA

I’m wondering if it’s okay to have a breast augmentation if I’ve had a heart problem while I was pregnant? After they did the c-section my heart failed. They didn’t really explain much and said it was due to the pregnancy. I never had to take any medications or see a doctor after. I never had any problems before the pregnancy and nothing since then. It’s been 11 years so I’m wondering with what happened then would I be okay to have surgery now?
