15 months ago I had a stroke in the pond of my brain and got a pacemaker.
Answer: Is it wise to get breast implants if I had a stroke 15 months ago and have a pacemaker? Based upon your current and past health history, your neurologist and cardiologist would be the most knowledgeable regarding the safety of breast implant surgery following your stroke and pacemaker. If they clear you for the procedure, schedule a consultation with a board certified PS who will confer with them regarding medications, anesthesiology, etc.

Answer: Surgery You will need to get a medical clearance from you medical physician to see if you are a candidate for elective surgery. If you are on any blood thinners, you will also need clearance to be off of that medication for surgery. Your physician can help you decide if it is a wise choice.

Answer: Breast implants when you have health risk factors Hello and thank you for asking whether you can get breast implants if you had a recent stroke and a pacemaker? The short answer is no.The long answer is that your breast augmentation is an elective surgery i.e. not mandatory, and will likely involve a general anesthetic, which carries significant cardio-vascular complications. You already have significant cardiac risk factors (a pacemaker) and vascular risk factors (a prior stroke) which would predispose you to serious, potentially life-threatening, complications... Please see your primary care physician if any surgery is planned.Best,Mark K Markarian, MD, MSPH, FACSHarvard-trained Board Certified Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Absolutely not! I highly recommend that you DO NOT have an elective cosmetic procedure that could somehow hinder your overall health. Remember there is no use looking good if you don't feel good. I would recoop from your medical issues and when you are in optimal physical shape, then you can consider it.
