Asthma and breast augmentation: what are the risks?

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Dear RSMember1886, thank you for your question. In my experience your condition is not a contraindication. Of course, before everything you should get a checkup and a consultation with a pulmonologist and further studios must be performed. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks! Dr. Luis Mejia.

Many patients with asthma are able to safely proceed with surgery. With good planning and discussion with your primary care physician and surgeon you should be able to have successful breast augmentation.
