MCTD and breast implants - is it safe for me to have this procedure?

Question

I have mctd and currently on no meds. My disease is quiet but my blood tests show positive RNA antibodies. I have been worse in my disease in the past and have shown a more clinical picture of lupus during my pregnancies. is it safe for me to have a breast augmentation?

Hello, thank you for your question. If you are not on any current immunosuppressants then it should be ok to proceed. Speak to your plastic surgeon about it first. For more information about safety and wound healing check out our website.

Dear zoofie_85,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
