Could Previous Breast Augmentation Have Caused Tingling Leg?

Asked By:sasha0820 in Ohio

My leg is tingling 2 weeks after my silicone breast augmentation. Could it be related? I have had an ultrasound of the legs and chest x-ray, both was negative. It has been going on for 6 weeks; would a leak in silicone cause this?
