Can you have a breast augmentation with Rheumatoid Arthritis? PS called & said he & my Rheumy agree that it is not a good idea.

I went to see a Surgeon in regards to a BA. I was honest w/ him in regards to my health. I'm 24 yrs old diagnosed w/ Rheumatoid Arthritis 8 yrs ago. I take Enbrel & Mxt. The PS wanted a letter from my Rheumy (rheumy told me just to w/hold meds 4 wks before surgery) he never told me not to do the surgery. PS said they don't know how my body will react to a foreign object, so obviously he refused to do it. Can I safely have this surgery? I'm very upset this disease is holding me back AGAIN!
