Surgeons operate on oatients with hepatitis commonly.  Most surgeons would not have a problem performing your surgery simply because you've had hepatitis.

Arthur M. Cambeiro, MD · Answer

There is no contraindication to breast implants if you have Hep B. However, your medical condition must be fully evaluated prior to surgery to ensure your liver is healthy enough for surgery.

Thank you for your question.The answer to your question is a highly probable yes based on the following criteria: 1) you feel clinically well and don't have any other health issues2)you are not in medications that lower your immunity or delay wound healing3)your liver function studies are normal4) you receive a preoperative "clearance" letter from your treating physician     allowing you to under go general anesthesia.5)I personally would have you talk with our anesthesiologist prior to surgery.I suggest that you make a appt. with a Bd. Cert. Plastic Surgeon (also ideally a member of the Am. Soc. of Aesthetic Surgery) who will take a history, review your past medical history, perform a exam and discuss your options.Pit is VERY IMPORTANT that you are totally honest about your health history.By hiding information you potentially put yourself at great risk.My best wishes,

It is possible to have breast augmentation with a history of hepatitis b.  However, you should first check with your infectious disease doctor to see if you are over the active phase and that your liver functions are stable.  Be certain to let your surgeon, anethesiologist, and nursing staff about your hepatitis, as they will need to take extra precautions during your procedure.
