I had gastric bypass August 2017. And weigh a hundred and forty-three pounds now. I would like to have a breast lift and may need implants. Would like to find out if they are safe for people with autoimmune diseases.

Answer: I have several autoimmune diseases... Rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogrens syndrome, hypo thyroid. Are breast implants safe? Provided the autoimmune diseases are under control, there may not be a contraindication to breast implants. No studies performed in the US have ever shown a link from breast implants and immune issues. These studies have been exhaustive and have allowed silicone implants to be reintroduced to the market.

Answer: Breast lift and implants can be done at the same time safely I have my patients check with their autoimmune treating doctor first to make sure they are stable and ok for cosmetic breast surgery. All of these patients were cleared for their surgery and did quite well with recovery, and healing. All of my patients were very happy with their experience and results. I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. My patients tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size breast implant is right for them.
