Answer: I had a brain tumor 24 yrs ago and have a VP shunt. Is breast augmentation an option? Yes, it is very likely that you will be able to proceed. Careful physical examination and a review of your past medical/surgical history will be important. You may also wish to obtain "medical clearance" from the doctors who know you best. Careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication of goals will be key. Best wishes.
