Risks of Allergic Reaction to Breast Implants?

December 9, 2009
Asked By:paulalincs in lincolnshire

I have very sensitive skin and have to be careful what products I use on my skin. For example Hair colours burn my scalp and skin so cannot dye my hair, cannot wear earrings as they irritate my ears and go red and sore...certain products dry my skin and cause it to go red. My question is, I am having a Breast Augmentation in 2 weeks and I'm worried I will have a reaction to them. Should I be concerned?
