Brief Answer:
Yes it is safe

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.

Ulcerative colitis in remission is not a contraindication for breast augmentation surgery. It is safe. You can go ahead with breast augmentation surgery (provided your doctor says you do not have any other issue that is a contraindication).

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks for your quick response. Does Asacol contain asprin? Does surgery make you get a flare up?

Answered by Dr. Dr.P.Ratnakar Kini (5 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No Asacol does not contain aspirin.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
No, Asacol does not contain aspirin.

Surgery does not flare up ulcerative colitis. The most common trigger factors for ulcerative colitis flare up are infection and NSAID medications.

I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
