Thomas A. Mustoe, MD, FACS · Answer

You have a significant facial rash, for which you should definitely be evaluated and treated. A dermatologist would be your best choice.  You could be allergic to many things, but there is no scientific evidence for developing an allergy to silicone.  Due to the chemical structure of silicone, an allergy is impossible unless the implants were not approved implants and had impurities in the manufacturing process.   Good luck in your effort to find the underlying cause for your facial rash.

You are having some condition that could be allergic in nature.  You definitely should see a dermatologist to see what the problem is.  It is unlikely that your condition is due to your breast implants.  It is more likely that your rash is due to a medication you are taking or something that you are putting on your face, such as makeup or your skincare products.

Peter J. Capizzi, MD · Answer

Your photos do not show a typical allergic reaction local or systemic. Additionally, I agree with the MD below that a dermatologist consultation is in order.  It is unknown to me of any documented cases of silicone breast implant allergies.

Thomas Trevisani, MD · Answer

I do not know of any allergic reactions due to silicone breast implants. Silicone in general is an inert substance. I suggest that you consult with a Board Certified Dermatologist.
