Can silicone implants cause break outs on your breasts?

Question

I have 4 or 5 very sore open sores for the past 3 or 4 years that will not heal. Breasts have not changed since 2009 except look worse. These sores hurt and bleed

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.

I would recommend you see a dermatologist to be evaluated as these symptoms are not from your implants and should be examined.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

I would recommend that you see your primary doctor as soon as possible as these symptoms are not from the implants and need to be worked up. #PlasticSurgery #BreastImplants #BreastAug

Thanks for your question.  Breast implants should not cause break outs on your breasts.  I would recommend discussing this issue with your family physician.

Never heard of this from silicone implants but best to get seen by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon so the sores can be biopsied. Non healing open sores that have lasted for 3-4 years definitely warrant a thorough work up. Good luck!

Anthony Deboni, MD · Answer

Thanks for the question. It is unlikely that your implants are causing the sores.  That being said, any sore that has not healed for that period of time absolutely warrants an evaluation and work up.  I recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for an examination and work up/biopsy.  Best of luck.
