Will Tattoo Removal Affect Breast Implants?

January 30, 2010
Asked By:Asia88 in New Virginia, IA

I am considering Breast Augmentation, but I have tattoos on my breast, about the size of three fingers on each. I plan on having them removed by laser treatment. If I get Breast implants before I start the Tattoo removal treatment, can the laser harm my implants? Should I get the tattoos removed before I get implants?
