Asked By:Anon453054 in Alpharetta, Georgia

Prior to making a decision of whether or not to get implants, I've been reading about BII from credible medical studies/sources. When asking questions on this forum, a couple of plastic surgeons have made reference to metals. One specifically said recent studies show that metals from tattoos and hair dye were in the capsule of patient with BII. I'm lost. Can we get more details on this correlation between toxic metals and BII findings?
