Can Breast Implants Affect The Heart?
Hi, I was born with a heart murmur. The official diagnosis is VSD. I ve taken antibiotics all my life before dental appointments and before any surgeries. I ve never had any limitations due to the murmur though. I m considering getting breast implants...is this going to be a problem or an extra risk considering my heart condition? I m wondering if my body/heart will react bad to a foreign object in it? What do I need to consider? Thanks!

Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that there are many complications related to breast implants, but they are not usually related to your heart condition.
Anyway, I would not recommend breast implants, especially for the risk of infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
