Breast augmentation after pancreatitis, is this possible?

May 23, 2017
Asked By:niienuh in Calabasas, CA

Last year, 2016, Ive had several episodes of acute pancreatitis due to a genetic mutation causing me to have high triglycerides. I now have sterile necrosis as a result. Assuming that my triglycerides are kept under control via medication my dr said I shouldn't be at risk since I no longer drink alcohol or have gallstones. Does this make me automatically ineligible for breast augmentation? If not, is there a certain period of time I should wait before it is deemed safe for me to do? Thank you.
