Itching Implants

I cannot think of a good reason why your implants should itch 9 years after surgery. You may have something else going on and an exam is the best way to get to the bottom of it. Good luck!

Breast Implants Itching 9 years After Surgery

Regarding: "Breast Implants Itching - What Can I Do? I have breast implants (saline)9 years ago I'm having iching in both breast, the itching is inside my breast under the bottom."

Itching after breast augmentation

If your implants were placed 9 years ago, it would be very unusual for them to all-of-a-sudden start causing itching. However, if there is any concern, you should consult your surgeon so they can make sure there is nothing wrong with your implants. Good Luck.

Breast implants should not itch

Breast implants, especially saline implants in for nine years, should not be the source of your itching. You may want to start with your primary care physician or a dermatologist. For peace of mind your plastic surgeon should also be happy to see you to make certain that all is well. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd

Itching - 9 years after surgery

It seems unlikely that this is related to your surgery, at 9 years post-op. Have you noticed any rashes? dry skin? flare-up of other allergic symptoms? Are you using any new lotions, perfumes or soaps? I would start by seeing your primary care physician, and make sure you don't have some common skin or allergy condition. All the best,
