Is Breast Augmentation Safe for a Patient with Mild Aortic Valve Insufficency Small Aortic Anuerysm?

Question

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. You are eligible for breast augmentation with your condition. However, you will need a cardiologist and anesthesiologist clearance to under go surgery. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

More than likely you will be just fine undergoing breast augmentation surgery, after complete evaluation/“clearance” by your cardiologist.  At that point, careful selection of your plastic surgeon, anesthesiologist, and fully accredited surgery facility will be important.

Cardiologist and anesthesia clearance would be necessary.  Breast augmentation can be performed safely in patients with your condition.

Joseph L. Grzeskiewicz, MD, FACS · Answer

If your cardiologist has evaluated you and feels as though the functions of your heart and valves are satisfactory, then from a plastic surgical perspective I can see no reason why a breast augmentation can't be performed safely.  You will want to have the input of the cardiologist first before undergoing anesthesia or surgery to make sure that you can be expected to tolerate it safely.

Naveen Somia, MBBS, PhD, FRACS · Answer

This is best decided by your Cardiologist who knows you and your heart very well. It depends on the severity and your ability to withstand the anaesthetic and the operation.
