Will an allergy scratch test for contact dermatitis effect my silicone implants?

Cute440533Mar 26, 2022
So..I’m seeing a allergist regarding some contact dermatitis and rashes. (Not associated with silicone implants). It’s likely environmental. He says he plans to move forward with an allergy “scratch” test. Does this effect my silicone implants ? Meaning I’ll have a systematic reaction? I didn’t disclose to the allergist I have had breast augmentation. (As I don’t believe there’s a correlation, it’s a personal matter & haven’t built repor) I assume it won’t trigger a response ? Thank you!

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...

Hello. Thanks for posting your query. Looking at the pics implant alone will suffice and lift is not needed. Placing the implant in dual plane pocket will give better results and shape to the breast. Hope I have cleared your doubt. All the best
