Can I have a boob job with an SICD defibrilator?

Question

My nipples hand almost straight down. They are also quite larger than the amount of excess skin i have. If it is possible to have my boobs done what do you reccomend? Im 28 years old I have wanted a boob job ever since nursing my first child. Before kids i started at a small D and since nursing 4 kids my boobs sag a lot and have deflated tremendously. Can i still have a boob job with my SICD? Im 5'2 and roughly 130lbs

Having a defibrillator in place does not always prohibit the placement of breast implants, but it will depend on the position of the device and the wires going into the chest cavity. Usually the wires are high enough to be unaffected by the breast implant. It would be wise to obtain the operative note to determine where the device is placed and how the wires were inserted. If I were to do your surgery, I would want to speak with your cardiac surgeon before doing anything.

Thank you for your question. It’s possible to have surgery w SICD, there needs to be close communication between your plastic surgeon and cardiologist. Good luckDrMaz

Dear skye.littmann,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thank you for your question.  It is very possible to have elective cosmetic surgery to improve the appearance of your breast.  It sounds like you may need implant and a lift.  I would recommend a cardiac clearance prior to your surgery and a SCID check up after.Best Wishes!
