Am I at a greater risk of complications after breast augmentation since I have allergic contact dermatitis?

Asked By:Bostongirl13 in Boston, Massachusetts

I’m a 24 year old female in good health looking to potentially get a breast augmentation. I have allergic contact dermatitis (35 total allergens) and I am also allergic to pet hair. Am I at a greater risk of developing complications if I get a breast augmentation with silicone implants? This would be my first ever surgery
