Autoimmune Hepatitis and Breast Implants?

I am 28 yrs old. I have 3 children want implants. I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis when I was 12 yrs old. I had to go on Prednisone for just over a year, then tapered it off over the next half a year. Since then I have stayed on 100 mg Immuran a day. They were worried about bleeding and how I would react each time I was pregnant. Each time I was healthy and healed good. Levels were good. I had my tonsils out and healed well. I have been stable since I was 14. Are implants safe for me?
