Being on a regimen of chemotherapy doesn’t necessarily disqualify you from getting implants. Dr. Armijo carefully chooses surgery dates around your chemotherapy treatment plan. In some cases, we may postpone removing tissue expanders and placing the implants until you’ve fully recovered from chemotherapy.
Dr. Armijo will work with your oncologist to help decide the safest treatment plan possible. It may take longer for your incisions to heal if you are undergoing chemotherapy, but this is normal and expected.
