Can breast implants cause chronic hives? I got silicone implants 2 months ago.

Question

2 weeks post op I started breaking out in hives daily. My dr insists it’s not from the implants but I’ve never had hives in the past so it’s just too coincidental. Allergy meds lessen them but thy are always there and I dont want to live on allergy meds.

Hi, thank you for your question.
In some cases after breast augmentation due to the tension that the skin undergoes through the breast implant, some rash or allergic lesions may appear that usually improve after a few weeks.
If they are very active you can use a topical steroid for 7 days, then generally they do not come out anymore.
