Tuberous breasts correction while recovering from broken foot?

Question

So this is an off question but I broke my foot 3 months ago and I'm recovering. Would it be possible to get tuberous breasts correction now since I have the time off or would I be prone to getting an infection due to healing?

Hello,As long as you are mobile, you should be able to have your breast augmentation and heal well. I recommend that you discuss this with your chosen Plastic Surgeon.All the best

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation.  Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

It may be reasonable to make the most of your time off.  There is no increased risk of infection that you need to worry about.  Best to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person assessment.Take a look at our tuberosity and asymmetry correction.  You can also view actual procedures on snapchat or instagram.  (add: realdrsix)

The risks of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) three months after ankle surgery should be modest, and this could be a good opportunity for you to pursue elective surgery.  Your surgeon may take additional precautions such as a venous doppler to check for an existing deep vein thrombosis, and may be more inclined to use anticoagulants post-operatively if you have other risk factors for abnormal clotting.

Erik Miles, MD, FACS · Answer

As long as you are in good health, you should be able to safely undergo a procedure to correct tuberous breasts.  Decreased mobilization from your broken foot can possibly place you at a higher risk of blood clots, so this definitely needs to be  taken into consideration. Seek a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the situation.  Make sure he or she is aware of the activity limitations related to your foot. Best wishes to you!

Thank you for your question.  AS long as you are healthy and have no medical problems that preclude you from having another surgery, then there is no reason in which you cant have breast surgery.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It you can not ambulate successfully, then I would say delay your surgery until you are able to.  ....

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

I am sorry to hear about the fractured foot, assuming you are doing well, it should not preclude you from proceeding with breast surgery. My best advice: select your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she has significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully, as discussed above. Working together you will come up with a good plan to achieve your goals. You may find the attached link helpful to you as you learn more.  Best wishes.
