Breast Augmentation Concerns for Patients with Ulcerative Colitis

lmb0114
I am having my Breast Augmentation done on Feb 11th but one thing still concerns me. I can't seem to find anyone else with my condition.  I have Ulcerative Colitis which is an autoimmune disorder and I was wondering if my body will be more prone to reject the implants or if I am worried for nothing. I have researched so much my head is spinning. I don't know whether to believe all those horror stories because had I got implants prior to developing UC I probably would have blamed them. Honest opinions and answers are appreciated.
