Could a silicone implant rupture have caused an allergic reaction?

November 8, 2024
Asked By:msbatana in Daly City, California

Hello I had silicone implants placed 4 years ago with no issues. This week, my breasts started feeling itchy and progressed to inflamed, swollen, painful. I developed hives over my body as well and my nipples developed mild discharge. It felt like when I had mastitis post babies but with no fever or systemic illness. The discharge from my nipples showed eosinophils with no bacteria and ultrasound showed inflammation bilaterally. Waiting for MRI. Have you seen this type of reaction before?
