Breast augmentation and UC

Hi everyone! To preface this, I’ve had UC since 2011 and I am now 24. I’ve always wanted a breast augmentation due to insecurities growing up but I always found myself chickening out. Recently, I’ve lost a lot of weight and my breast are the smallest they’ve ever been which makes them even more… non existent so I have been researching more about getting them done. I was wondering if any of you ladies have gotten a breast augmentation post UC or IBD and if you have noticed any worsening of symptoms or increase in flares?
Would love to hear about your experience. Thank you!

  1. This is such a great question. I haven't had the procedure done but I do know my doctor has told me that once diagnosed healing becomes a bit compromised. Sharing this info not to deter you at all. But just be mindful healing might take longer for you than someone without the diagnosis. I wanted to get a different procedure done and I decided to opt out. I'm sure others will soon chime in. Big hugs, Elizabeth (team member)
