Nausea 4 weeks after breast augmentation, is this normal? Or related to the silicone implants?

April 11, 2018
Asked By:helenej in Los Angeles, CA

It’s been almost 4 weeks since my breast augmentation. I started having constant nausea and bitter taste in my mouth a week ago. It disappears when only when/after I eat or have something in my mouth. I wasn’t taking any narcotics after surgery at all and it doesn’t look like a good poisoning. I was completely healthy before the surgery. I referred to both my surgeon and my primary physician. I wonder if it could be related to having silicone in my body
