Hi, I am considering getting breast augmentation and possibly a mini tummy tuck. I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial hypertension about 2 years ago. I have been in remission/symptom free for about a year now. Just want to make sure this won't be an issue?
Answer: Can I have breast augmentation surgery if I have Idiopathic Intracranial hypertension? Hello, thank you for your question. You need a medical clearance from your neurologist, after that i recommend you to schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

If given clearance you can then schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. Depending on the severity of your condition it may be best to have the procedures in a hospital setting.

Answer: Cosmetic surgery and IICH Dear Honest, Posting your pictures would have been helpful to determine if you are indeed a good candidate for mini tummy tuck. The indication for that procedure are very limited and if you delivered children, most likely you will require a full tummy tuck. Combining tummy tuck and breasts augmentation is not recommended since the severe complications rate is significantly higher than tummy tuck alone. These are purely elective procedures and safety should be your prime consideration. As far as your Intracranial hypertension condition, you need to consult your neurologist or neurosurgeon and be cleared for surgery. Once you get the green light, your surgery can proceed safely. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Checking the reviews, as well, can be very helpful. Best of luck, Dr Widder
