Is it okay to get Breast Augmentation after repairing a torn tendon in my scapula 1 year ago?

Dear Genuine569476,
previous shoulder surgery should not prevent you from getting BA. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. This should be a safe procedure but could be better planned after a formal evaluation.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

1 year is usually a sufficient amount of time to undergo breast augmentation surgery following repair of a torn tendon. Recent orthopedic surgery should not disqualify you from undergoing a breast augmentation surgery.

I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your Orthopedic Surgeon and seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations.

I hope this helps.
Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

Thanks for your question!
You should be fine to have surgery. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

If you have healed well from your previous surgery, You should be fine to have breast implants. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon, and best wishes with your happy outcome!

Your surgical history of a tendon repair would not exclude you from being a candidate for breast augmentation. The next step is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to learn more. I've included a video about the procedure that I hope you find helpful.

If you have healed well, then you should be able to do a breast augmentation. I am not a fan of the gummy bear implants because they are firm. The softer implants are more natural feeling, and both have the same bags.

Hello. A picture showing where your tendon repair occurred would be helpful, but at 1 year you should be well cleared for a breast augmentation. For 1.5 cup sized larger I suggest about a 300cc implant.
