I am experiencing hives/ rash on my upper chest right above the implants and some hives that trickle down onto them. I have 350 cc silicone implants under the muscle and have now been off my pain meds/ antibiotics for about 4 days. What could be causing this reaction? Could it mean my body is allergic to the implant? Is this a normal reaction?
