I also caught a virus 4 years ago that affected my heart muscle which resulted in me getting a pacemaker. Even though I'm 75 years old, I am an entertainer, and young for my age group. I want to do this for me, but am a tad apprehensive because of the pacemaker. It's not worth me dying over, but I would love perky breasts!!
Answer: Can I have surgery with a pacemaker Thanks for your inquiry, if your cardiologist clears you, you can have surgery. Please seek the opinion of a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Silicone breast injections Thank you for your question. Although not common, there were situations where silicon was injected directly into the breast. This is very different from an implant in that it is essentially within the tissue, not behind the tissue. It is possible to remove the majority of it but removing all of it may be difficult. It sounds like you would also benefit from a Breast Lift, which could be done at the same time. A pacemaker by itself does not Exclude you or place you into a high-risk category, but most surgeons would want a letter of clearance from your treating cardiologist. It may also be wise to have your surgery done at the hospital rather than an outpatient surgical center. Best wishes.

Answer: I had silicone injections over 30 years ago. I hate my breast as they sag and now are heavy. Can you help me? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Without photographs or an in-person examination it is difficult to offer definite advice as silicone injections are troublesome to correct and may increase your risk of infection and other issues. I would recommend posting images or seeking out a series of consultations to get the best advice.

Answer: I had silicone injections over 30 years ago. I hate my breast as they sag and now are heavy. Can you help me? It is possible to get breast implants with a pacemaker in place as the pacemakers are typically placed high on the chest wall and would not interfere with the placement of an implant. I am more concerned about the silicone injections over 30 years ago. The only way to reverse any damage incurred is with a surgical procedure, which may not eliminate all the silicone or correct the visible effects.
