Does Condition Like Celiac Disease Preclude Getting Breast Augmentation Surgery?

You should be safe to proceed with surgery however you should talk to your doctor about this first, and review any medications you're taking.

Celiac disease is not contra-indication to breast implant surgery but it may some preparations for surgery may be warranted based on your medications and recommendations of your gastroenterologist.

Hi there-

There is absolutely no reason that your inability to tolerate gluten containing foods would adversely affect your safety or ability to achieve your goals with any aesthetic procedure....

Good Luck!

Celiac Disease is an autoimmune severe allergy to gluten protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Upon eating a gluten containing food the patient has abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea associated with destruction of the intestinal lining. The only cure is the avoidance of all grains.

However, this disease does NOT preclude such patients from having any cosmetic surgery, including Breast Augmentation.

This should be fine.  You must be in good health- well nourished with non celiac foods, etc.  This in and of itself is not a contraindication for surgery.

I would first discuss with your GI doctor, than with the chosen Plastic Surgeon before considering implants for your breasts.
