Hidradenitis suppurativa but want breast augmentation. Am I a good candidate?

Hi & thanks for your question!
Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options, He or she can address your concerns at that appointment. Best wishes!

Healing is not the issue, but chronic and recurrent infections which could cause your breast implants to become infected or develop hard capsules. Your hidradenitis needs to be dealt with first and be controlled. You may need to have the most infected and chronically recurring areas excised first.

Hello, thank you for your question. You can certainly get a breast augmentation, even with a hx of hidradenitis as long as you do not have an active infection. Regarding healing, there are several contributing factors, including if the wound gets infected, medications that slow healing like immunosuppressants and the main one being genetics. Its difficult to say how you heal based off of piercing scars because the location of the surgery and how it is performed and closed with will make a difference in scars. I would talk to your plastic surgeon to assess your scar and your skin.
