I'm doing research on getting a breast augmentation. Are implants still an option for me or is my body more likely to get an infection after the procedure? My body has also "rejected" foreign objects in the past, implanon ( birth control implant in my arm) and Mirena (physical birth control device in my uterus) does that make me more likely to run into problems?

Answer: Breast implants Thank you for your question.This is not a contraindication for breast implants. I would recommend an in person consultation to be evaluated and discuss all your options. Also, take photos of what you want to look like or breast sizes that you like to give the surgeon a better idea of your expectations.

Answer: Breast implants after mastitis Hi,A history of mastitis is not a contraindication for receiving breast implants. The implants are commonly placed underneath the muscle which is far away from the ducts and natural breast tissue. Both saline and silicone implants have been placed for many years without strong literature evidence of patients rejecting them. You are not at risk of increased infection after mastitis, but if you do have another child it is possible this condition may reoccur. Many women are able to successfully breast feed after receiving implants. Best wishes,Dr. Christine Rodgers
