I wanna get my breast done, but I have a pacemaker if they be later I wanna know if it’s possible I am 41 years old with three kids
Answer: Yes, a breast augmentation can be done with a cardiac pacemaker in place. It is generally safe to get a breast augmentation with a cardiac pacemaker, but it requires careful planning and discussion with your plastic surgeon in concert with your cardiologist. Pacemakers are placed just underneath the skin, and therefore your breast augmentation would likely be safest if it was placed in a sub pectoral position, so there is a muscle interposed between the pacemaker and the breast implant. Preoperative clearance from your cardiologist, proper pacemaker monitoring during and just after surgery to assure it proper functioning and postoperative follow up with your cardiologist to ensure that your pacemaker is working correctly would be very important.

Answer: Breast augmentation surgery with a pacemaker Yes it is definitely possible as long as you get medical clearance from your cardiologist prior to moving forward with the surgery. If you need to replace your pacemaker in the future, having an implant will not be an issue either. Best of luck to you.
