Question

I was turning on my pool filter and somehow electrocuted myself. I am fine and did not have any side effects or issues but I am jut wondering could this have done anything to my implant? I could feel my right pec muscle tighten after it happened then it subsided. I did a doctor and everything is ok. Just looking for additional thoughts. Thanks

Electrocution has no effect on the implants because implants do not have any metal components and should therefore not be affected by electricity. What you have felt was normal.

George Papanicolaou, MD · Answer

Hello,

This should not affect your implants. There is no metal in the implants. The muscle can contract when something like this happens to the body, that is why you felt a tightening sensation. You said your plastic surgeon examined you and everything is okay. Best wishes.
