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

C
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...

Based on the photographs you have provided, I would not recommend a lift. The pictures are a little limited so we would need to do a more complete exam to determine for sure.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. If your medical doctor and anesthesiologist feel that you can safely proceed with surgery, you should be ok.

This can happen over time. It sounds like your surgeon did the right thing checking you out to make sure there was nothing serious going on with your implants. Sometimes they move a bit but are not a problem.
