I have Natrelle 410 implants in both breasts(real and reconstructed). I was told to have any needed MRI's prior to the areola tattoo procedure because the iron based ink would create burning.I might need an MRI in the future (leakage over time or trauma such as auto accident with airbag deployment). What type of restrictions, and/or limitations are there after the tattoo procedure with respect to MRI's? Is the MRI safe? Does the answer change based on how long the tattoos have been in place?

Low-grade fever with high leukocyte count are concerning and indicate possible infection. You should closely follow-up with your plastic surgeon and look out for any swelling, pain, and/or redness of the breasts.
Final implant choices are based a number of factors but one of the most important is the width. This prevents crowing in the middle of the chest and conversely to much implant towards the armpit. Three
basic forms of breast reconstruction exist. You can use your own tissue,
implants...
