Dear dyllan08,yes, ti is possible to get a surgery. However, you will need a clearance from your endocrinologist. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. You will get the best recommendations after a thorough examination.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Yes, it is most likely that you will be able to proceed. Well-controlled medical conditions, assuming patients have received "medical clearance"  from the  appropriate physicians, are not a contradiction to proceed with surgery, in most cases.
 Please make sure you are seeking consultation with board-certified  plastic surgeons (who can demonstrate lots of experience with this type of revolutionary breast surgery) who preferably work with board-certified anesthesiologists in fully accredited surgery facilities. I hope this helps.  Best wishes.

Your endocrinologist will have an answer. It depends on the severity of your Addison's disease. In the event you go ahead, your endocrinologist should liaise with the anaesthetist and probably have your operation in a hospital

Greetings,The safety of a breast augmentation surgery should be discussed with your endocrinologist.  If he (she) clears you for surgery (and there are any medical recommendations), than you and your plastic surgeon can proceed, if you are a good candidate for breast implant placements.Having Addison's disease or other medical problems is an indication for caution, and not necessarily a contraindication for surgery.Best Regards,

Due to the repercussions that Addison's disease may have on you, I would only recommend the surgery if it is considered necessary. It will also depend on how controlled your disease is and of course, your doctor has to perform extensive evaluations prior to surgery to make sure everything is in order.
