I am 26 years old, diagnosed around 5 years ago, I am currently taking Xeljanz and Leflunomide (arava). I am worried because my rheumatologist told me there is no research on it but she has had patients have bad outcomes.

Answer: Surgery You might ask your doctor to be more specific about the "bad outcomes." Also, if possible, be off your medication for about a week prior and a week after your surgery. I had had several patients on the same and similar drugs you did very well with surgery.

Answer: Is it okay to get breast augmentation with rheumatoid arthritis? Patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and prescribed Xeljanz may experience upper respiratory tract infections (common cold, sinus infections), headache, diarrhea, nasal congestion, sore throat, runny nose (nasopharyngitis), and high blood pressure (hypertension). Some side effects of leflunomide include alopecia, diarrhea and skin rash. Other side effects include: bronchitis, hypersensitivity, hypertension, pruritus, rhinitis, and tenosynovitis. I am unaware of any studies proving that rhreumatoid arthritis treatment (Xeljanz, Leflunomide) would interfere with BAM.

Answer: Is it okay to get breast augmentation with rheumatoid arthritis Usually only with a written pre operative clearance from your RA doctor. I have done patients with active RA and have had no issues. I might use saline not the silicone/gummies.
