Would I be able to receive a breast augmentation if I have Ankylosing Spondylitis? I am not currently taking any routine medications for treatment at this time. Just concerned of possible recovery risks or increased risk of capsular contracture. Anyone have any insight?
Answer: Breast Augmentation and Spondylitis If you are healthy otherwise, there should be no reason why you could not undergo a breast augmentation. There should not be any increased risk with regards to the surgery or general complications afterwards. With any patient, it is imperative to really determine which implant will fit within their frame and match their goals, while not setting them up for long term problems. In your case, an implant that is not too large so as not to put any additional strain on your neck/ back might be in order. The best thing to do is to have a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons that do a lot of breast surgery and a see what will work best for you. I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast Aug with ankylosing spondylitis Thank you for your question. I would absolutely discuss this with your rheumatologist. I have operated on patients with this in the past and we chose saline implants to minimize the risk of increase encapsulation. Other than that they received the ok from their rheumatologist. I would just ask him/her and then seek counsel from board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Best of luck to you
