Does high blood pressure affect your recovery from breast
implant surgery? If you have high blood pressure, should
you avoid breast implants? A new study suggests that
women with high blood pressure in fact do have cause to
worry if they are considering breast implants.
The study was conducted in 2008 by the Department of
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center in New York. The study involved
reconstructive breast implants performed on 1170 women
with breast cancer.
What the researchers found was startling. Women with
high blood pressure experienced failed breast implant
surgeries or complications from breast implant surgery
(including death) at twice the rate of women without high
blood pressure. That’s a staggering difference.
What You Should Do
Clearly, you should try to get your high blood pressure
under control before undergoing breast implants.
In addition to moderate exercise, such as daily walking,
you should also eat foods that reduce blood pressure.
Another promising new tip is the use of special massage
techniques that lower blood pressure.
