Answer: Crohn's and Breast Reduction Thank you very much for your question.There certainly may be a doctor in your area who is willing to do the procedure. I personally wouldn't have a problem doing the procedure on somebody with Crohn's Disease. The biggest issue would be medication management, as many of the Crohn's medications cause poor wound healing. Close coordination between your GI doctor and plastic surgeon will be necessary. Depending on the size of the reduction, and your symptoms, your insurance may pay for the reduction. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast Surgery and Crohn's Disease Your particular medical history and use of certain medications may dictate if a Breast Augmentation can be safely done in you. Certain medications which severely limit inflammation also stop wound healing and predispose you to serious complications. The best thing you can do is obtain the advice of your GI physician and then seek the opinion of an ABPScom certified Plastic surgeon who is a member of the Anerican Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
