Can I get breast implants after heart surgery 5 years ago? (Photo)

Thanks for your question.
You would need to have medical clearance from your cardiologist. Schedule a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

If you are a healthy enough for surgery, I suspect he would be a good candidate for breast implants. You would certainly have to consider a lift also. You could sit down with a board certified plastic surgeon to see what your options are. You may need clearance by a cardiologist to assure that anesthesia is safe. Good luck.

Hello,
Each plastic surgeon may have a different answer. We would want to look at your full medical history as well as have your primary doctor do an updated physical, may request and EKG as well.

Dear NoraBorden,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

The prior surgery should not significantly complicate breast augmentation and should not affect the aesthetic outcome. Safety is always paramount, so before having any elective surgery, you should first be cleared by your cardiologist.
