I’m HIV-positive but undetectable with good T Cell - does this increase breast augmentation risks?

Hello doctors, I am a transgender woman living with HIV, and I have been undetectable for several years while consistently taking my medication. My overall health is good, and I am considering breast augmentation as part of my gender-affirming journey. I have a few questions: * Does being HIV-positive but undetectable increase the risks of breast augmentation surgery? * Are there any specific requirements regarding my viral load or CD4 count before surgery? * Are silicone implants safe for someone in my situation? * What is the average cost for breast augmentation in Southern California? * Is there anything I should discuss with my infectious disease doctor before scheduling surgery? I appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.
