Can breast implants cause high blood pressure?

Thanks for your question. There is no known association between breast implants and hypertension. I suggest you continue to work with your primary care physician to look for the cause and to appropriately treat your high blood pressure.

I am sorry to hear about your struggles with hypertension. However, breast implants have no association with high blood pressure. It sounds like your doctor is doing the right things in searching for a potential cause.

There has been no association found between high blood pressure and breast implants. Continue to work with your PCP to determine the cause of, and in managing your hypertension. Best wishes.Karen Singer, M.D., P.A.Harvard GraduateBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

It is interesting. There is no known connection between them. do you have any anxiety about your implants?

No, your implants will not cause high blood pressure, however, your genetics may be involved. Please get your pressure under control. Also, you should try to minimize stress in your life if you can.

The potential for breast implants to have systemic effects has been studied extensively and large scale studies done of prestigious medical universities.  There is no evidence to indicate that silicon breast implants can cause systemic effects such as high blood pressure.  It is important that she seek proper treatment to lower your blood pressure.  Please continue to seeyour primary and asked to have appropriate medications to lower your blood pressure.
