I am a black female in Germany due to military reasons. I will be returning to the states in about 10 months. I am having a tummy tuck and breast implants done in May. I have not decided which type implant im going to go with because I am afraid of silicone and the horrors stories Ive heard of people's immune systems being compromised.My doctor prefers I use silicone but he says it up to me. He said something I never heard, he said that the valve in the implant can open while flying. Info PLEASE

Answer: What Are the Risks of Flying with Saline Breast Implants?
There are none of which I am aware.
After your breast augmentation surgery, and once you are over the early healing phase (2-4 weeks), you are meant to begin to forget you had the surgery. There are no specific activities that I advise my patients to avoid at that time.
By the way, there never was (nor is there to this day) any serious evidence that silicone gel breast implants have a relationship with immune disorders in humans. These are the likely the most intensively studied medical devices in the history of humanity. As long ago as the mid-1990s the American College of Rheumatology issued a position paper stating that there was no evidence of a relationship between silicone gel implants and immune disease. They have not changed their position since that time.
Still, the final choice of implant is up to you and you must be comfortable with your choice.
Good luck!

Answer: Flying after Breast Augmentation Surgery
Both saline and silicone breast implants are safe when considering flying. Millions of women have flown after both saline and silicone breast augmentation surgery. Many patients travel to to Florida for their jacksonville breast augmentation surgery and return home via plane within the first few weeks after surgery without any incidence or complications.
