Can Breast Implants Cause Hives?

Thank you for the question.

It is possible but extremely unlikely that the breast implants are the source of allergic reactions/ hives you are experiencing. As you mentioned it is much more likely that it is one of the medications you have been taking or have received perioperatively  that is the culprit.

Once the allergic “cascade” begins it may take several weeks before the hives/rashes resolve. The use of Benadryl and/or steroids may be indicated under the direction of your physicians.

I hope this helps. Remember the saying; " when you hear galloping animals think horses,  not zebras".

Best wishes.

I don't believe your implants are the cause of your hives.  More likely it is a result of your antibiotics or a separate allergen.  Consider any new foods, medications, laundry detergents, etc. that could be more likely causes and discuss your concerns with your doctor as well.

The risk of getting a rash from the silicone implants is essentially zero, if not zero. More likely, you are experiencing this rash from another cause which could include pain or other medication including the antibiotics that you stopped a few days ago. You should contact your doctor immediately and see what he/she recommends.

Good luck!
