Ask a Plastic Surgeon / Breast Augmentation-Lift-Reduction Question 53
Question: I have a connective tissue disorder resulting from Marfan Syndrome. I have always wanted breast implants and was wondering how this would effect getting them?
From: Ashley, Georgia 04/01/2008
Response: Your scarring will, likely, be widespread due to the lack of strength of scar tissue. Also, the risk of ptosis (falling of the implant and/or your own breast tissue) will be much greater. You should make certain that a test is performed on your aorta prior to the procedure to make certain that it is of proper caliber and, a strong suggestion, make certain that the implants that are used are very small ie. 150 to 200 cc.
