I'm a female and was going to have a breast reduction which my doctor already recommended but before i chose to have it, I had a pacemaker put in. Is it possible to have one now. Im 79 and soon will be 80 but my neck and back hurt because of them. Any suggestions ?

Answer: Breast reduction Dear Inventive228111, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your cardiologist 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.

Answer: Hospital Thanks for your question! It is possible as long as you have medical clearance. Your surgery should absolutely be performed in a hospital setting. Good luck!
