Kidney transplant recipient going under BA Procedure?
Answer: Prednisone with breast augmentation Great question! If your kidney doctor and medical doctor feel that you are safe for surgery, then it can be fine to proceed with a breast augmentation. The problem with prednisone is it can slow down wound healing, which can lead to other issues. But the wounds of the breast augmentation are very small and if your body has gotten use to the dosage, it could be fine to proceed. Your surgeon will need to review your history in detail and discuss the issues.Best of luck and hope this information helps!- Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai

Answer: Transplant Thank you for your question. Yes, you would be able to undergo a breast augmentation 6 years after a kidney transplant. My advice is to seek care with a board certified plastic surgeon who will be able to consult with your primary physician to provide the best care possible. Good luck.

Answer: Breast implants and kidney transplant Yes you should be able to get breast augmentation without problems. Your plastic surgeon should discuss the case with your kidney doctor and also have your anesthesiologist notified in advance. Then I think you’ll have no problems.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. If you are otherwise in good health and can obtain full medical clearance from your primary physician, then you could safely proceed with surgery. 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. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
