Can I Get Submuscular Breast Implants if I Have A Defibrillator?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a defibrillator but could I get breast implants under the muscle ???
A: When a patient is considering breast augmentation with an indwellng on demand pacemaker or a defibrillator the followiong three pieces of information are needed:
1) Medical/cardiac history
2) Operative notes from the device placement
3) AP/Lateral chest x-ray
From this information it can then be determined whether breast augmentation in general and what implant pocket location is possible can be determined.
