Are breast implants safe for someone with an existing autoimmune disease?

August 21, 2017
Asked By:miche68 in Roseville, CA

I'm a 49yo woman considering breast augmentation, but I'm concerned about the safety. I have a very mild condition of ankylosing spondylitis and I'm HLA b27 positive. I don't take any medications as my disease has stayed at a barely detectable level for years and pain and inflammation are mild to nonexistent most of the time.
