Am I allergic to my silicone implants? Or will this rash go away?

swtbbygrlAug 22, 2017
I have mentor silicone implants, could i be allergic to my implants? I have rash hives on the bottom of both my boobs and it is spreading around my boob going up a little more. I am very scared, I am 3 weeks post op and the rash became more apparent week 2 until now. I had texture silicone implants before and I was fine. I'm just scared I am allergic to my implants and that this rash/hive will not go away. I put cream on it but it's not going away yet.

Good afternoon! You do indeed have some bottoming out with a double bubble on each side, and is the most common revision surgery I perform. I recommend the Internal Bra, my strong permanent internal suturing technique which corrects your bottoming out and double bubble and lifts and supports...

Good afternoon!I believe they have not dropped and fluffed as they should have, as evidenced by the fact that your progression photos don't show much progression. This could either be from a high tight muscle not releasing and relaxing, or some encapsulation. Both situations would require some...

Unfortunately, any "bottoming out" that has already occurred is unlikely to get corrected without revision surgery. AN underwire bra can theoretically help prevent further bottoming out, but if you feel that you would like your implants to be a bit higher (which would allow your scars to lie ...

I appreciate your question. The size of implant is dictated by your chest wall measurements.  Once we determine that we can choose the profile based on what you want or need to achieve. Silicone will give you a fullness at the top (upper pole fullness). Silicone implants come ...
