Asthma with full lift and implants. Will it effect my surgery (fostair pump)? Will slight scoliosis effect my surgery?

Question

I am on a fostair steroid pump for my asthma. I take it once in the morning and evening - if needed then. Will it effect my surgery in any way? Also will it effect my asthma at all once I’ve had my implants because of the weight? Also, I have slight scoliosis and I know I am very slightly rotated in my hips and I think my ribs. Will this effect anything with sizing or operation? I’m looking to have 300cc moderate profile. I am currently a very empty 34 C. Thanks!

Dear Chloedenning123,
generally speaking, asthma will not have an impact on your breast augmentation surgery. However, scoliosis can cause deformities of chest so it can affect breast augmentation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of former patients with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the implants have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

It’s essential to discuss your specific medical conditions and concerns with your healthcare provider, including the surgeon who will perform the procedure.
Asthma and scoliosis can potentially impact your surgery and anesthesia. Your medical team will need to assess your overall health and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a safe surgery and recovery. Be sure to provide them with a complete medical history, including any medications you’re taking and the specifics of your asthma and scoliosis.
They will be best equipped to provide guidance tailored to your situation. Always follow their recommendations for a successful surgery outcome.

If your asthma is well controlled, you should do well. The implants are behind the breasts and will not affect your breathing. Your mild scoliosis probably will have minimal affect on your surgery.
