Having constant dizziness after surgery. Could it be the silicone?

Question

About 6 days after my boob augmentation I started this constant light headed off balance feeling along with headaches. It hasn't went away and going on 2 weeks now. The hospital said the only thing they could find left was vertigo. But I'm not naushious and had none of these problems before but headaches. Could it be the silicone?Should I take them out?

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

It is almost certainly from the surgery, most likely one of the medications you are taking. It might be from the fact that you are not eating enough.   It is not from the silicone.  You should definitely not take them out.

Oliver Pope Simmons, MD, FACS · Answer

Dizziness after surgery is typically due to positioning during surgery, medications that you are taking for pain or fluid imbalance from the surgery.  Check with you physician or schedule an appointment for an ENT doctor in the area

Ralph R. Garramone, MD · Answer

I would say the most common cause of your symptoms is the anesthetic or more likely one of the medications you are taking.  Another possible issue if you are nauseated is that you are not eating or drinking enough.  There is almost no chance that this is related to the silicone.Best of luck.
