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

April 1, 2023
Asked By:coffeekittens in Scotland, United Kingdom

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.
