mastectomies and PMs

Hoping to hear from anyone who has had a PM and ICD implanted after mastectomy. I had a double mastectomy 17 yrs ago and need the hardware now. Wondering if the mastectomy scars could interfere with the implantation?

I had a double also... Six years ago. Got a PM in April this year. No problem whatsoever with the surgery.
