I've had a skin condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa in the groin since I was 6 years old. Can I have breast implants?

chasethewaves
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful, long-term skin condition that causes abscesses and scarring on the skin... Last year I had l a Sebaceous cyst removed and it got infected and turned into abscess and reopened my stitches, took a long time to heal. Will this effect my chances of breast implant? I get the feeling I may not heal well. What are the risks? Anyone help? Thank you
