Guest mr_nastey Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hello, I'm not personally having breast implants!! but my wife is. We are also just about to have our VISA medicals and I have only just realised the relevence!! Do breast implants matter, does the medical examiner ask? Should we wait until we are in Oz? Or should we simply not say anything? All help on this appreciated Cheers Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spray21 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I can't imagine it would cause problems! It is probably something that you should mention to the doc who does your medicals, but I honestly can't think of any reason why it would be a problem.

Guest Fraser Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 They certainly do breast implants here in Oz (My mates wife has them) but other than that... I dunno.... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 The medical form will ask about surgery - just mention it on that. The Dr. may also do a breast examination (so should be able to tell)! Can't see that it would be a problem though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jojoe Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 hi, sorry this is a late post, i had breast implants last year due to breast deformities, this might be a silly question but i am hoping to move over to Oz once i qualify as a registered nurse next september. I understand i need a chest xray, sure i will mention this when i get my medical but can having implants stop me getting a visa? thanks xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand i need a chest xray, sure i will mention this when i get my medical but can having implants stop me getting a visa? thanks xx Hi JoJoe Trust me, your breast implants will not be a problem with your chest x-ray or visa. I have a breast implant as a result of cancer many years ago. I chose to get a copy of my medical records relating to this and took them with me to the panel doctor for the medical so that he could send them off with the report. Figured that my CO was bound to ask for them anyway so it would save time and problems later. May make sense for you to do this also. Our visa was granted a month after medicals without any further queries so you will be fine. Steve - guess the same would go for your missus. Get copies of records relating to her implant operation along with a letter from surgeon/consultant confirming all is OK, signed off etc and take to medical with you. Fail to see any reason why you would be refused, only thing l can imagine is CO asking for more details before visa is granted which is why I suggest getting copy of medical records beforehand. Good luck! and NO they won't burst on the plane - just incase any silly bu**er asks :biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jojoe Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 funny about the 'will they burst on the plane'question, i went over to Thailand in January with my mum, she was convinced they would pop, would make a horrible mess if they did though:biglaugh:, though i did get water retention in them, made a change from my ankles!!

Guest oz migration Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 HI As Lyne&San have stated it is not a problem. The chest checks are for TB and the question of surgery is for the invasive non routine (breast implants in general is considered routine and non invasive - although a few females would probably think otherwise).
