Question

I wonder if you can help me, I have a degenerative condition called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and I have wanted a breast enlargement from a young age and am still considering it but worried that with my condition no surgeon will touch me.

Is there any way you could tell me weather it would be possible or not?

Answer

Ehlers Danlos is usually considered a contraindication for open cosmetic surgery due to the high risk of bleeding.
