Hi thanks for your inquiry, your sister needs immediate medical attention, Dr. DeMars is right. Her health issues are more important in this moment. I hope everything goes well. Take care of you and your sister.

Most definitely not. Patients in the condition shown in the photos are at an extreme risk for any kind of surgery for complications including infection, erosion of the implant through the skin, and death. Your sister's problems are far and away more of a problem than her chest contour. She needs to be hospitalized, and soon!
