Family history of autoimmune disease. Does this put me at greater risk to develop an autoimmune disease after a BA?

I am planning on getting a breast augmentation next month, but I have read some articles stating that if someone has a family history of an autoimmune disorder, they are more likely to develop one after surgery. My mother has Ulcerative Colitis. Does this put me at greater risk to develop an autoimmune disease due to a BA?
