Is it possible to get breast implants with hocm and icd?

Yes: Yes, but those conditions make any surgery, imcluding elective cosmetic surgery more risky.

Safe Surgery: As long as you have cardiology clearance for the breast augmentation and the surgical approach does not interfere with the icd, i see no reason why you cannot have the breast implants.

Yes: If you are otherwise hemodynamically stable then it would be possible to inactivate your pacemaker prior to initiating surgery and if your augmentation is done under Propofol and ketamine sedation and intercostal nerve blocks there should be minimal cardiosuppressive effects. There is a small but acceptible risk but your cardiologist must approve. I have done this surgery very successfully.

Breast Augmentation: As long as your cardiologist has seen you recently and cleared you for surgery and anesthesia is aware of your condition and knows to monitor your volume status closely you should be fine.

Yes, if...: Yes, once you have been “cleared” by your cardiologist, you should be able to proceed. Best wishes.

Yes.: Please have your cardiologist speak with your board certified plastic surgeon. Together they should get an appropriate plan together for you. http://www.jjrothmd.com/procedures/breast-augmentation.
