Can Psoriasis Increase the Chances of Capsular Contraction?

March 27, 2012
Asked By:Christy12 in New Jersey

I'm very close to selecting a date for my breast augmentation, I have concerns about Capsular Contraction. I've read where autoimmune disorders such as Psoriasis can increase the risk. I'm currently using Enbrel to control my skin issues. I very much appreciate any advice on this subject.
