Answer: Breast aug after transplant I appreciate your question.Breast augmentation is a safe procedure but with a complicated medical course and immunosuppressive medications, the chance of complications such as poor wound healing and infection are higher.I would discuss with your transplant teamThe risk vs benefits may be too highThe best way to assess and give true advice would an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Am I a Candidate? Given that you are likely on immunosuppressive drugs for your recent transplant I would be apprehensive to place implants until you have had more time since your transplant. The most important thing is protecting your new kidney and you want to make sure that your transplant surgeon and nephrologist is able to weigh in on your decision to proceed with breast augmentation. Good luck! #PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #BreastImplant #Implants #surgerycandidate #kidneytransplant

Answer: Surgery Since you had surgery only 2 months ago, I would suggest waiting for at least 4-10 more months to let your body heal and adjust to your new kidney. You are on medication that increase the risks of complications. Plus, you will need your medical doctor and nephrologist approval for additional elective surgery. Congratulations on finding a kidney! Your kidney and overall health is much more important that the size of your breasts.

Answer: Breast augmentation in compromised immunity When you receive a kidney transplant you need medication to keep your body from rejecting the kidney. Consequently those medications make you immunocompromised which make you a high risk for breast augmentation. It is probably best to see how your body responds to the kidney and the medication for several years before considering cosmetic plastic surgery. If you were my cousin or family or patient I would probably discourage you from the surgery. May you be healthy and enjoy your life. I would recommend you see a therapist to discuss your needs. Good luck...

Answer: I had a kidney transplant 2 months ago and wanted to have breast implants. Should I wait or not do it at all? Congratulations on having undergone the kidney transplantation.Overall it sounds like you are in good health. The history of kidney transplantation will likely not contraindicate breast surgery. Timing of the surgery will best be determined by your transplant surgeon and nephrologist. Communication between these doctors and your plastic surgeon will also be important. Best wishes.
