Can I have a breast augmentation if I have a Lyme disease which has been treated?

Question

Im having a Lyme disease history.I’m currently taking vitamins and Samento(cat’s claw drops) I ’m really considering a breast augmentation, but I’m afraid my immune system will collapse and I’ll go back to stage one after the surgery. I know there is no direct link between Lyme and implant.But my only concern is the immune system. How bad it will be affected? Does anyone with Lyme history in their cases know anything about this? Thank you in advance!

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well ..
It is advisable in this case to have an official consultation with your plastic surgeon to evaluate you and see what exams you are asked to do

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

It would be best to schedule an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. You might also have to get clearance from your primary care physician.
