Is Breast Augmentation safe for those with subaortic stenosis?

Hello Akara10! When I meet someone with a known heart condition, I request cardiac clearance from their cardiologist. Depending on the diagnosis and estimated cardiac risk, I speak directly with the cardiologist to obtain clarification and make sure surgery is safe. If a surgical candidate is determined to be low risk, than they are often considered reasonable candidates for surgery if there are no other significant medical or psychological considerations.

Dear Akara10,
you should be healthy prior to elective procedures. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I appreciate your service Akara, however you should be having this conversation with your cardiologist. Usually breast augmentation is an extremely safe procedure for healthy women. With your history, it probably would be safer to have the procedure done in the hospital. You have nothing to be embarrassed about as thousands of women undergo this procedure yearly and there is no longer any sort of stigma attached. Your safety is the prime concern. Best of luck!

Breast augmentation surgery may pose risks for individuals with underlying heart conditions like subaortic stenosis. It's crucial to consult with a qualified medical professional who can assess your specific medical history and condition to determine if the surgery is safe for you. They will be able to provide personalized guidance and consider factors such as the severity of your condition, overall health, and the type of anesthesia used during the procedure. Always prioritize your health and consult with a healthcare provider for expert advice.

If your cardiologist wants elective surgery done in the hospital, then he/she prefers all surgeries be done there so you can be cared for should something happen. You will need a medical clearance from your cardiologist for this.
