 | BA scheduled 2 1/2 weeks after thyroid ablation
I'm a mother of 3 beautiful children and I looking forward to a breast augmentation. The issue is that I have Graves Disease and have had it for 2 years. Tried going for remission on anti-thyroid drugs, but it did not work. I'm having the ablation on Nov.6th. Really looking forward to closing the chapter on hyperthyroidism. I will start taking synthyroid 4-6 weeks after the ablation. On Nov. 10th a meet with my Endo to start the anti-thyroid drug again..but only for 2 weeks. Just to get me level as my thyroid dumps all those hormones and I obtain my euthyroid state. My breast augmentation is scheduled for Nov.23. My Endo says that I should be fine to have the surgery. What do you think as a surgeon? I will not meet with my plastic surgeon until Nov.5th (pre-op). In the meantime I'm looking for some peace and answers. I know that I will have the local IV Sedation and that it will take around 45mins. No lift. What are your thoughts? Thanks |

| Thyroid Function
Good afternoon, You will most likely have no problems at all. However, I am very conservative and given that your hormone levels will be fluctuating during November and surgery can also affect your hormone levels I would think it would be wise to separate the two events. If you were my patient, I would wait until January. Just discuss it with your PS and make sure both of you are entirely comfortable with proceeding. Best Wishes, Don Revis, MD www.SouthFloridaPlasticSurgery.com |
