Heart attack was almost 4 years ago and I’m not on any medications, heart attack was due to stressful pregnancy and delivery. And I do not have any stents placed.
Answer: Hospital Thanks for your question! You really need to discuss this with your particular surgeon. Every surgery center is different so it really depends on a number of factors. You will absolutely need cardiac clearance but beyond that, I'm unsure if you will need a hospital visit or not. Good luck!

Answer: Medical history You will want to visit with your cardiologist to discuss your interest in breast augmentation. If given clearance you can then meet with a board certified plastic surgeon about the procedure. She/He will decide if you are a candidate and where would be the safest location for you to have your surgery.

Answer: Medical History of MI (heart attack) and getting breast augmentation Hello, thank you for your question, glad to hear you are feeling better and doing well. It would be better advised to have any future surgeries especially for elective surgeries ie breast augmentation in a hospital facility. Its possible to have it done outside the hospital but the risk of this is greater then the benefit. A hospital can better facilitate more resources, medical professionals, if there were to be any issues during surgery or even after surgery.

Answer: Do I need my breast augmentation done in hospital after heart attack 4 years ago & have PVs? Hello @Lalak8 thank you for your question. Is important you consult with your cardiologist, and follow his or her recommendations. Keep in mind that plastic surgery is often practice in clinics where only plastic surgery is performed to ensure all the sanitary requirements and that the treatments are performed in operating rooms intended for this kind of surgery, and avoid the risk of bacteria or viruses. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS
