Is it normal to develop frequent heartburns and new food allergies after breast augmentation surgery?

Hello, it is not typical to develop new food allergies or persistent heartburn after breast augmentation surgery.   It's possible that a person could have a reaction to a specific medication given around the time of surgery, but the procedure itself shouldn't cause an allergy to food.  Similarly, some medications like pain relievers can cause temporary heartburn or upset stomach, but it should resolve.  If you have persistent new symptoms you could discuss your concerns with your family doctor or surgeon.

I would not recommend having your implants removed because they are not the source of your food allergies and heartburn. Rest assured that breast augmentation does not cause food allergies or heartburn.If these symptoms persist, definitely meet with an doctor to discuss. Breast augmentations do not cause any systemic health issues.  If they did, plastic surgeons would not place them, and the FDA wouldn't allow it.Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your question.There is no correlation between breast surgery and food allergies. Our bodies are constantly changing and we can become sensitive or intolerant to things after prolonged exposure. The surgery does not have anything to do with the development of allergies.
