Can I still get breast implants if I have arthritis (RA)?
Answer: Not aware of any contradindication specific to RA but best to check with a rheumatologist Hello, I am personally unaware of contraindication of breast implants specifically to rheumatoid arthritis, we have had patients who had breast implants in the past with RA or later was diagnosed with RA and did not have any issues. But every patient is different and all treatments should be tailored to each person so it is best for you to check with your rheumatologist to see if there are any specific contraindication in your case to have breast implants.

Answer: Can I have breast augmentation with RA? The answer is that it depends. It's best to begin by discussing your interest in breast augmentation with your rheumatologist. If you receive clearance and your symptoms are in good control you can then meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about the procedure. Make sure you discuss all of the medications you take for your RA.

Answer: Breast Augmentation if you have arthritis I would check with your rheumatologist before proceeding. I have definitely done breast implants on patients with autoimmune issues such as RA, but I proceed with the rheumatologist's agreement. The specific implant company the doctor uses typically have a medical info line for patients to talk over more specific studies on specific issues like yours. All the best!!
