I have Grave'sDisease a hyperthroiyd disease (in remission) and Morphea a rare skin autoimmune disease.
Answer: I want to get breast implants. But I have two autoimmune diseases, am I a good candidate or is it a bad idea? Hello and thank you for your question. As long as your medical condition is stable, you should be O.K. to have breast augmentation. There is no data to prove that breast implants can cause or exacerbate autoimmune diseases. Best,

Answer: Am I a good candidate for a Breast augmentation Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your medical history, questions and wants. If you are medically cleared by your PCP and any other specialist they feel that is needed then I don't see a problem with continuing with a Breast Augmentation. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Am I a candidate? The best place to begin is to speak with the doctor(s) who you see for your conditions about your desire for breast augmentation. If given medical clearance you can proceed to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you. If your conditions are well controlled you should be able to proceed with surgery.

Answer: I want to get breast implants. But I have two autoimmune diseases, am I a good candidate or is it a bad idea? Breast implants provide a very nice way to address involutional loss or fat loss secondary to weight loss. Provided the autoimmune diseases are under control, there may not be a contraindication to breast implants. As plastic surgeons, it’s our responsibility to continually monitor the long-term safety of breast implants and make sure that all patients are aware of any possible adverse outcomes. Ask your PS about the recent information distributed by the FDA regarding textured implants and a "black box" warning.

Answer: Clearance I would certainly think you were a candidate for breast implants as long as your doctors are on board and give you clearance to proceed. I would have a long talk with you regarding choice of implants, using silicone or using saline . My preference not to complicate things for you would be to use Saline good luck
