Can I have breast implants done as a patient with auto immune skin condition pemphigus vulgaris?

Dear Lnish,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for you interesting question. You really bring up two questions. The first is whether breast implants can exacerbate autoimmune diseases. The answer to the question is uncertain but unlikely. As of this time there are no studies which conclude that gel implants or saline filled gel implants can induce or worsen autoimmune conditions. The more germane question is will the surgical experience cause a flare-up of you illness. The literature shows examples of patients having worsening of pemphigus vulgaris following surgery, either early or weeks later. I would consult with your dermatologist and discuss your options. Best of luck to you!

Yes you still may be a candidate for breast augmentation despite your condition. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation. During this visit you will review your medical history with your surgeon as well as medications that you take. Based on the findings your surgeon will advise you if breast augmentation is appropriate for you.
