I want to undergo breast implant surgery but I can't seem to find any information on patients with UC that had them done. Is it safe to undergo surgery while on mesalazine?

Answer: IBD and Breast Implants I have performed surgery on patients with IBD and recommend that they consult with their gastroenterologist before surgery. Every patient's disease is different. Although mesalazine is related to aspirin, it does not appear to have the same increased risk for bleeding that aspirin has. You should be able to proceed with surgery. Good Luck!

Answer: Ulcerative Colitis, Mesalazine, and Breast Augmentation It is safe to undergo the breast augmentation operation while on mesalazine for your ulcerative colitis. You will want to try to make sure that your nutritional status is in good shape prior to the procedure, because this will help with healing. Additionally, it is best to not be on steroids at the time of your operation because steroids can inhibit healing as well. To sum up: UC and mesalazine are not contraindications to undergoing breast augmentation. Just make sure you're in good health prior to the procedure and not in the middle of a flare. Best of luck to you!
