mazzy, im a medical student and i will be getting my op on aug 5th, autoimmune disease is not something that can be caused by implants or foreign objects it is a disease that attacks body’s OWN tissue and organs. so because implants are not grafts; as in they are not live and expected to carry out a function like a kidney or liver transplant, you really have nothing to worry about. however, if youre not in good health and have problems such as recurrent infection, very low immunity, high blood pressure, heart problems etc…they you should defo let your surgeon know these, they will play a part in your operation and sucess of it…. as far as my research goes well over 90% of all BAs end well and produce fab results but if you feel unsure you should book another appointment with ur surgeon and talk about all the issues that consern u! its REALLY important that everything is clear for you b4 u make a decision.
my mate did her BA 7years ago when she was just 18 and shes absolutely fine….hope this helps a little. please dont worry and speak to MYA and arrange to see a surgeon, u have nothing to lose.
