Will a history of bulimia cause problems during breast augmentation surgery?

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your 1 month anniversary. Provided that you have researched and found the right Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to perform your augmentation you need to be completely honest. Your surgeon will be able to walk you through the surgery, the recovery and the list of complications that can occur with any surgery. I cannot stress enough how important the honesty between you and your surgeon is. I hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi there-Provided you are now in a better place with regard to your relationship with food, and that this healthy relationship remains stable over time, there should be no reason you cannot have a safe and happy experience. By far the most important decision ahead of you is who to allow to perform your surgery- be sure you select the best surgeon based on the right priorities. Your safety and happiness will depend on it.

Anorexia and bulimia are beyond the scope of my experience. From a physical standpoint, as long as you are currently physically healthy, I see no reason why you could not undergo a breast augmentation procedure. My concern is that anorexia/bulimia are tied into body image issues. I do not know what effect breast augmentation would have on this. Again, out of my field of expertise. I don't know if you were helped in overcoming your bulimia by a professional, but I think it would be worth discussing this with a mental health professional trained to deal with body image issues before proceeding.
