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: 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.

Answer: Breast implants after a stroke I’m sorry to hear about your medical problems. The question is not based on whether you can have surgery from a technical perspective but more importantly your overall medical condition. You need to have a discussion with your primary physician and your neurologist or cardiologist if you have one to determine whether the stress of surgery can be tolerated by you. The surgery can be performed but the bigger question is, is it safe to do so in your situation?
