I have really bad teeth that need a lot of work. I plan on getting them fixed soon. Could I still get a boob job?

Yes, it is possible to undergo breast augmentation after you’ve had dental work. However, it’s recommended that you complete the dental work first and be fully recovered before proceeding with breast augmentation.

If the world was perfect I'd recommend addressing your dental issues first- "health before beauty!"
Additionally I think the science behind implanting foreign devices like knee replacements, hip replacements and breast implants supports dealing with areas of chronic bacteria like open wounds or bad dentition first. Best Wishes!!

Hello, thank you for your question. You should focus on and complete all the dental work needed before your undergo breast augmentation, in order to avoid being at increased risk for breast infection. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Fellowship-trained plastic surgeon.

"Bad" teeth are not a contraindication for a boob job. As long there is no infection, you should be fine with your procedure. Recommend that you complete your dental work before having the breast augmentation.

You should fix everything related to your teeth first. After that heals, then it is much safer to have breast augmentation. Discuss the timing with your surgeon. Best of luck!

Dear Witty895508,
you should finish your teeth prior to any elective breast procedure. 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.

Have your dental work completed before considering breast augmentation. It is important that you are free from infection when undergoing breast augmentation. Infections that settle around breast implants can be hard to treat and sometimes could lead to removal of an implant.

Get all your dental work done first and restore your teeth and control any infection. Once cleared, then you may have an augmentation.

While you can still get a breast augmentation and then get your teeth fixed, I recommend getting the teeth done first. There is a bit more risk to implants with bad teeth or having implants and getting the dental work done after the implants are in place.
