I've had a pacemaker since I was 16 due to a trifascicular block (placed over the muscle, under the collarbone). I have no other health issues. So my question is, would it be possible to get breast implants without interfering with the pacemaker? And, would the implants present a problem when I need to replace the pacemaker?
Answer: Breast augmentation with pacemaker? You are still a candidate for surgery, but I would require medical clearance from your cardiologist prior to moving forward. The implants should not cause any issues for you when replacing the pacemaker. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast implants with pacemaker This should not be an issue- as long as the wire won't be stretched out by the implant, etc. Usually, the pacemaker needs to be demagnetized so it is not affected during surgery. Clearance with your cardiologist would be necessary as well as An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Pacemaker and BA From a plastic surgery point of view it appears that the location of the pacemaker should not interfere with doing a breast augmentation. The real issue is from an anesthesia point of view can you tolerate a drug such as epinephrine which aids in helping with blood loss. In my experience with this issue, a pacemaker specific magnet is needed in the operating room to override the settings or reset the settings of a pacemaker. This question is best answered by your cardiologist who knows the type of pacemaker and its ramifications under a general anesthetic. Best of luck.
