My sister has MS and has been wanting breast implants for years. Are there risks associated with the anesthesia/surgery?

Asked By:himyname in Newark, NJ

She is not debilitated and leads a very active and healthy lifestyle. But she does take Copaxone. Wouldn't it be unwise for her to do the surgery given there were so many health scares years ago with silicone implants? Or if she has saline or gummy bear then will she be okay? Also, are there risks associated with the anesthesia/surgery for her MS?
