Ok for implants: While i think you can go ahead with the breast surgery...This "sun damage" needs more looking into. Was it biopsied? I am really concerned that the spot not cleared may be malignant. This needs to be seen by a facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

Probably Yes.: Assuming you have healed completely and there have been no complications after the biopsy, it should be safe to proceed with breast augmentation surgery. Always best to check with your own plastic surgeon for precise advice.

Probably yes: This may depend on the presence of any open lesions and the preferences of your anesthesiologist and surgeon. If there is an open or infected wound, it may be better to delay surgery until healed to minimize bacteremia during manipulation.
