Is it safe to get laser tattoo removal after septal occluder device treatment?

Question

I have recently received treatment for an atrial septal defect using a septal occluder device. I have an unwanted tattoo on my chest and I am unsure now as to whether it is safe to have laser treatment on this area. Any help/answers/previous experiences would be appreciated.

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It is recommended to consult with your physician who performed the atrial septal defect procedure before undergoing any laser treatment on the chest area. Your physician may advise you on the best course of action and whether or not it is safe to have laser treatment on the area where the septal occluder device was implanted. It is important to follow your physician's recommendations to ensure your safety and wellbeing.

Best of luck !
