Will sepsis affect my breast augmentation?

Wow, it sounds like that was some kind of kidney infection! These are typically, but not always, caused by a different bacteria than that which causes infection following breast implant surgery. Also, it is now well over 6 months since this occurred and your body plumbing should have cleared this. If the workup did not reveal any anatomic problem with the kidneys and the urinalysis is normal than you should be good to go. Have there been any previous infections? Urinary tract infections can result in severe sepsis when not caught early or are from more virulent strains of bacteria. There should be no need for a catheter so surgery should not affect the risk of recurrence. Drinking lots of fluids and a little cranberry juice will also reduce the risk of problems. The risk of infection following breast augmentation is very low. 

If this was an isolated incident of sepsis then standard breast augmentation should be fine.  If there any questions your PS should consult with the physician who managed you septic event to get recommendations for any pre-surgical preparation.
