15 years ago I had a VP shunt placed for pseudotumor cerebri. Can I have breast aug and TT with this in place?

I appreciate your concerns, however your first step should be consultation with your original neurologist for a full evaluation to be certain that there are no issues remaining. If your doctor agrees with your desire for mommy makeover surgery, consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and share all aspects of your past medical history. Good luck.

Thank you for your question. You will need to see your Neurologist and get his clearance and opinion. Once that is done, you should find an experienced Board certified Plastic Surgeon who can examine you, discuss your options and help you with all your concerns.

You can have the surgery if cleared by your neurologist and with confirmation of the shunt location. Good luck!

Hello dear. 
Thank you for your question and provided information as well.
If you are considering a surgery, I recommend you to visit to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. Please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get to know if you can have the surgery.
Hope this helps and best of lucks.

Dear  Graceful771,
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.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Further details as to the course of the drain need to be considered but it is possible to have both procedures done with ample research and discussion of the risks.  Hope this helps.

The best place to begin is a visit with a neurologist to discuss your desire for these procedures.  If given surgical clearance you can then proceed to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation.  Be sure to discuss your full medical history with your surgeon.

Anyone having the proposed procedures would require medical clearance. In your case, although you aren’t under the care of a neurologist for follow up (why not have access to a specialist who knows your history?) you should verify that you could be cleared. Additionally, depending on the outcome of protesting and clearance, the procedures should be divided for less continuous time on the OR table.

Hi and thank you for the question! First thing to do is to consult your neurologist and confirm that there are no issues moving forward. Once you have their approval, I suggest booking an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to. Common complaints include laxity of the skin around the buttock, abdominal, and breast regions, excess skin in these regions, loss of volume in the breasts and buttock, and protruding abdominal muscle. The mommy makeover is a procedure that helps to address all these issues. Coupled with high definition VASER liposuction and renuvion skin tightening the results are incredible and produce an amazing youthful, natural aesthetic. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a mommy makeover specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

You need to confirm that your VP shunt is either properly working or not needed. The course and anatomic location of the shunt needs to be identified so the plastic surgeon doesn’t accidentally cut the tubing.Talk to your neurosurgeon and let your plastic surgeon know about your medical history during an in person consultation.Having a VP shunt is not an absolute contraindication but needs to be taken into consideration.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
