Silicone Breast Implants on Women with Autoimmune Disorders?

Silicone breast implants do not cause a woman to be more likely to develop an autoimmune disease any more than a woman without implants. However, why does the Mentor say on their website, "Precautions: Safety and effectiveness have not been established in patients with the following: autoimmune diseases (for example, lupus and scleroderma)". So, can silicone implants make an existing autoimmune disease worse? I have Hashimoto's which shows as hypothyroidism. Does that mean I should not get breast implants? I can't find any article on the web at all addressing women getting silicone implants who already have an autoimmune disease. Thanks!
