Looking for a doctor who has performed breast augmentation surgery on a patient with MS?

Question

Multiple Sclerosis

Ram Kalus, MD, FACS · Answer

I agree with my colleagues regarding a collaboration with your neurologist in planning for a possible breast augmentation. Your physical examination is important to ascertain any levels of possible muscle weakness in the chest area that could impact on the surgical plan for you. Do not base your surgeon selection on the basis of whether or not your surgeon has performed this operation on other patients with MS. That is far less relevant than finding an experienced surgeon whose skill, knowledge, judgement and aesthetics make him or her the right surgeon for you. Best of luck to you.

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Best to consider a board certified plastic surgeon who will communicate with your primary care and neurologist.  Collaboration between these physicians will be important to provide the best care possible.  Good luck.

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  If you are in good health otherwise and can obtain medical clearance from your physician who treats your MS, then you may be a candidate for a breast augmentation.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

I think that this would have to be coordinated with your neurologist to see if you are ok to go through with the surgery.  Many times I treat patients in the hospital if there any issues.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Dear LH-13,
I would examine you and then speak directly to the physician taking care of your MS issues for their input and advise.  We would then decide together the best placement.  
Good luck with your search.
