Hello, thank you for your question. If you are otherwise healthy without generalized swelling, your body's ability to manage fluid shifts should not be greatly compromised. There may be a short period after the augmentation in which the lymphedema may worsen transiently due to overall body volume stores increasing. However, breast augmentation produces very little swelling as compared to liposuction or something of a greater magnitude. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
The answer depends on where is the Lymphedema affecting your body. Usually, it affects the lower extremities, so Breast Augmentation procedure should be ok to be performed, however individual cases might vary and until the proper examination is done, nobody can confirm whether it is safe or not.
Dear mltm.234,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to get breast augmentation if you have lymphedema. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
You did not state where your lymphedema was located, but unless it involves your breasts or axillary areas, you should do well. No lymph nodes are removed with the augmentation.

You are technically grade 2 ptosis meaning your nipple is below the fold but not at very bottom portion of the breast. Your best bet is a breast reduction. This procedure removes excess breast tissue and skin and places the nipple/areola back at the "normal" youthful position. As always, be sure...
You appear to have a distinct breast fold and no constriction of tissue around your areolae, therefore you don’t look like you have tubular breasts.
Thank you for your question. I typically recommend patients to wait about 4-6 weeks after large dental procedures. Each surgeon will have their own protocol they wish to follow. I would recommend you speaking with your surgeon and following their recommendations. Best of luck to you.
Recent studies report that around 5 per cent of surgery patients may wake up on the operating table but not recall specifics about that time period. For a active, 20 year old healthy female, reading about anesthesia awareness can needlessly increase your anxiety. Anesthesiologists have a wide...
We do not offer twilight anesthesia at our practice. The preference is to have to patient totally asleep to make the surgical flow as smooth as possible. Many practices are well set up for twilight and works well for them. The best course of action is to discuss with your surgeon including any...
