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

September 26, 2017
Asked By:zm0522 in Los Angeles, CA

I had breast augmentation about 6 weeks ago, and 2 weeks ago I started getting heartburns easily (never had them before) and I've noticed that I'm now gluten intolerant. Is it normal to develop sudden food allergies / intolerances after breast augmentation? If it's Breast Implant Illness, is that a temporary part of healing or something that requires implant removal? I have no other symptoms and I'd hate to get them taken out. I had 400cc Ultra High Profile Silicone implants added.
