Is it safe to get silicone or saline implants with metal allergy?

Your question interested me to look at some medical data.  According to the FDA, platinum metal is used in the manufacturing process of breast implants.  The FDA scientists "did not find evidence that platinum caused breast implant illness."  There was NO mention of other metals in the FDA or implant manufactures product information.Another, option for breast augmentation is fat grafting -using one's own fat for breast enhancement in appropriate candidates.

Hi heatherann91xo and thank you for your question.  In my 20+ years of experience I have never heard of, or seen, a reaction to silicone or saline breast implants due to a metal allergy.  If you are concerned, I would discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon but I do not believe that a metal allergy is a contraindication to breast augmentation surgery.  I hope this helps and I wish you all of the best.

In my experience there's no interaction between silicone implants and the body for those with metal allergies.  You could always ask your surgeon to check in with the medical affairs department of the manufacturer if you want to be certain.
