Can I have a breast augmentation after I donate a kidney?

Question

G. Robert Meger, MD · Answer

As long as your remaining kidney is functioning normally I can think of no reason why you wouldn't be able to undergo a breast augmentation.  And after donating a kidney, I can't think of anyone more deserving than you to do something for yourself.Best of luck to you in both operations!G. Robert Meger MD

Thank you for inquiry and amazing gift as a donor.  Having donating a kidney does not exclude you from having a breast augmentation.  If you are in good health, you should be able to proceed safely.  Good Luck.

With the history of working 5 years with kidney donation and renal transplant patients I would like to praise your courage and ultimate gift in your decision to donate a kidney to someone you care about and to give them a longer more fulfilling life hopefully without further dialysis. The great news is that you can have the breast  augmentation with a normal functioning kidney. I would talk to your transplant surgeon and nephrologist and let them know your intentions. Best of luck!!

Joshua Cooper, MD, FACS · Answer

I don't see any health issues that you should be concerned with if you undergo a breast augmentation while having only one kidney.   Your nephrologist and/or urologist may recommend that you not use NSAIDs such as Advil after the kidney donation, but there are other pain medications that you could use after breast augmentation that would be fine. By the way, fantastic to hear that you are donating a kidney!  One of the most wonderful gifts you could give someone!

Zach Barnes, MD · Answer

As long as you are healed and everything is functioning well, then there is usually no issue in these cases. Your surgeon may want to get clearance from your nephrologist prior to surgery.
