Is hair loss related to silicone implants?

Asked By:annak123 in Albuquerque, NM

I got 275cc silicone implants at the end of October 2013. I have not really noticed anything unusual although the left breast does feel less full and "formed" than the right one. I had nexplanon implanted at the end of may. About a month after that my hair started falling out severely and diffusely. I had blood work for my thyroid & it was normal. Could hair loss be an autoimmune response to my implants? Or related to my birth control? (It's not listed as one of the side effects of nexplanon).
