I’m waiting to undergo a breast augmentation after clearance from both plastic surgeon and neurologist. Implants being only option to improve my issue. However, I’m still concerned with possible side effects from having foreign objects in the body with an autoimmune illness like MS (little research have been done on this topic). My MS is stable, I’m in good health and on Tecfidera. What is the risk of worsening the MS with implants? What should I consider? Any info/advice/experience is welcomed!
Answer: Breast implants and multiple sclerosis You are correct in stating that there is very little information about implants and MS. Nobody can tell you what the risk is and you will no doubt receive different opinions from different surgeons friending on their experience and bias. I’m sure some surgeons would say it’s no problem simply because they want to do the case. In the end it is your decision

Answer: Bellesoma Method Unfortunately, you have not told us your bra size or provided photographs. You have alternatives other than breast augmentation. Often times a breast lift will give you upper pole fullness, reshape the breasts and eliminate the need for implants. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Implants I am not aware of any specific issues with implants and MS and have done several ladies who did have MS and implants. Remember, surgery is a stress, and stress may flare up MS. I would suggest using smooth implants only.

Answer: No scientific contraindication to having breast implants if you have multiple sclerosis You have gotten clearance from a neurologist. I'm sure you have googled this topic as well. I have on many occasions inserted implants in patients with autoimmune conditions. There is no known link to breast implants.
