Can my two year old implants be causing Graves Disease?

It has not been reported in plastic surgery literature, to my knowledge, that there is association between breast implant and Graves disease. This is an issue that you should address primarily with an endocrinologist. However, if this continues to bother your mind, removal of implant will solve that (mental) problem. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Removal of breast implants, intact or ruptured, may have positive implications if patients are symptomatic. A constellation of symptoms associated with breast implant illness, and autoimmune disease are considered when treating patients who have breast implants and are concerned about foreign body reaction. In our office, we begin this journey with a consideration of symptoms and exclusion of obvious autoimmune problems. In many of our patients, en bloc removal of breast implants with capsulectomy is important and beneficial. Further clinical evidence about breast implant illness is evolving and will continue to guide treatment. I would suggest removal if there is a possibility of foreign body reaction.

Thank you for your question.
To my knowledge of the current medical literature, there is no direct correlation between Graves disease and breast implants. I recommend speaking with your plastic surgeon to discuss your options and concerns.
