Top surgery and pacemaker - Daler - 05-21-2019
Hello. I’m a trans guy and I have a pacemaker. Will this affect the top surgery?

That's a good question, Daler. It would be best answered by a surgeon. You may be required to have some extra tests done. As long as your condition is being managed well, it could be OK. It may be best to have surgery with a surgeon who operates at a hospital, versus a private clinic, so that there's a cardiac team nearby. Whereabouts do you live?

Thank you for your reply. I live in Canada.
