I was diagnosed with Graves Disease, I've had saline filled silicone breast implants for two years. I have no family history of hyperthyroidism/Graves Disease. Do you think this illness was sparked by my implants? 45 years old. 5'4, 140 lbs. (female) Do you think my body is fighting the implants? Causing this?

Answer: Implants and Hyperthyroid There is no known correlation between hyperthyroidism and implants. If you are uncomfortable having the implants in place, you can elect to remove them at any time.

Answer: Breast implants There has been a thirty year ongoing debate as to whether breast implants could trigger an autoimmune disease. Even now there is no agreement in this so you will never get a definitive answer. If you wish to have your implants removed in the hope of resolving the problem there are many surgeons who would perform it, but with no assurance regarding whether your Grave’s disease would be affected
