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?

Answer: Hidradenitis You can probably have the breasts done without too much concern. Your surgeon may put you on antibiotics longer. also consider having hidradenitis surgery at same time. just cut out the involved skin in the armpits. It’s the only thing that works for hidradenitis anyway. As long as you aren't getting implants.

Answer: Breast Lift Surgery You would want to be infection free and have no flare ups when going into surgery. Any infection in the body would increase your chances of having surgical site infection.I would discuss this with your surgeon and make them aware of the situation. I am certain they would agree and would want to make certain you dont have any ongoing infections.Make certain you are seeing board certified plastic surgeons with great deal of breast surgery experience.Hope that helps.
