Should I Go For A Chest Surgery?

This question is for an Orthopedic doctor. I was born with severe Scoliosis, because of that I also have deformation in my ribs. The front of my chest sticks out as well as the right side of my back. Due to that, my breast point in opposite direction, rather than straight. On top of that they are also small so they sit in such away that they are almost non exstistant. So I decided to get a breast augmentation. My question to you is if I should wait to get the breast augmentation until after I have a Thoracoplasty surgery and surgery on my chest or if i can get breasts first and then later go back and get Thoracoplasty and the chest surgery? Would it make a difference which one I did first? Would I potentially mess up the out come if I did one before the other? Thank you for your time and I do apologize for the long question.

Hello,

As per my surgical experience, the priority of scoliosis surgery is most important before breast augmentation, because the results of scoliosis surgery will give you a definite answer to the question, whether you require breast augmentation or not.

I hope I have answered your query. I would like to assist further at anytime.
