Hi there, I am interested in getting a breast augmentation . I struggled with an autoimmune disease called HSP for a couple years which was very severe and was on my organs as well as all over my skin. I do still get skin lesions on occasion but I don't struggle with the disease anymore ( I believe it is dormant in my body).
