Breast Implants with Nuss Procedure?

June 6, 2013
Asked By:ErinCHarvey

I am a 25 year old female. I have had the nuss procedure done when I was 16 and currently have 2 bars in my chest. I never got them removed due to fear of symptoms returning as similarly to post-op friends who have had them removed (both male and female). Is it safe to get breast implants although I do not want the bars removed? If they must be removed can this be done at the same time with the plastic surgeon and not thoracic surgeon? Thank you!
