Answer: Surgery You will need to ask your medical doctor if elective surgery is something you can do now. Your doctor will need to give a medical clearance for surgery.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hi, thank you for sharing your question. AS is not a contraindication for breast augmentation. If your medical doctor/rheumatologist and your plastic surgeon come to an agreement that it is safe to proceed, you should feel confident in doing so.

Answer: Ankylosing Spondylitis + Breast Implants This is a very interesting situation. The short answer is, it depends. You want to make sure you don't add too much additional stress (aka weight) on your back, as this could worsen your back pain (or future back pain), so you would want to avoid a large implant, and, if already large breasted, this may not be an advisable surgery. Another very important consideration is that AS is considered an autoimmune inflammatory disease. This may put you at higher risk of having an adverse reaction to an implant (what is commonly referred to as Breast Implant Illness, aka BII, which is a poorly defined entity that is not yet a formally recognized diagnosis), although this is debated in the literature, with some studies finding no link. The FDA label recommendations state that breast implants in patients with autoimmune diseases have not been studied. Some of the medications to treat autoimmune diseases need to be stopped before and after surgery. So, the best advice is to speak with your doctors about what is right for you specifically.
