Is it safe to have a breast lift if I have hidradenitis suppurativa? (Photo)

Asked By:mihalkokai

I just got diagnosed with HS and my breast lift surgery is in another few weeks...I was wondering what doctors think when they hear a patient has this? I only get flares in my armpits, never my breasts.Is it okay to have an active flare going into the OR? I'm going through a residential program at a local university, will this scare them out of doing the surgery?
