While there is no absolute contraindication to have an augmentation, I believe it is best to complte whatever treatment you have and remove the Portacath before augmentation
Yes it is possible to have a breast augmentation if you have a portacath in place but it is important that the issues necessitating the portacath be resolved first.
The most important question to first ask is why you have a portacath and if treatment has been completed, when is it supposed to be removed.
The main issue is whether or not there is a potential for contamination of the implant during the surgery. If there is even the slightest risk of contamination I would advise waiting until the catheter is removed.
Yes it is technically possible but your PS may advise against it. The risk of infection may be higher as you have a portacath. The potential of 'seeding' of the new breast implant may be a problem. I would wait for the portacath to come out. Hope this helps
