Is it safe to get implants done with an autoimmune disease like HSP?

Creative116873Mar 13, 2023
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). I would like to get this procedure but I worry it will bring back this disease/make my autoimmune symptoms bad. Is it safe to get breast implants with an autoimmune D?
