Sjogren's and Breast Lift vs. Lift w/ Augmentation. Is Sjogren's a contraindication for augmentation?

October 25, 2014
Asked By:Neverbeenflat in Bethesda, MD

48 yo mom of 3 and lost 80lbs with umbilical hernia. I will have a TT as part of the hernia repair and now considering full MM, but very fearful of scar from from BL &/or BA surgery. The thought of having my nipple removed scares me to death. Are there alternatives to having the nipple involved? If I have to get implants, is it true that the more painful behind the muscle placement gives the better/ more natural result? I have Sjogren's Syndrome, is it a contraindication for augmentation?
