Is there any chance silicone implants caused my high blood pressure ?

October 19, 2016
Asked By:justanormalgirl in Toronto, ON

I have had high blood pressure for 10 years,(cause unknown) I have also had silicon implants for 10 years. I've been on medication for it and has kept it stable. 3 weeks ago I had my implants removed, the next week I had a reaction to the blood pressure meds, (extreme feet swelling) so I went off the meds. Today at my cardiologists, he checked my BP and It was perfect. he is stumped. Is there any possibility that the implants could have been the cause?

You didn't mention how long it has been since your surgery. The rippling may improve if your surgery was recent as it takes time for the tissues to settle. If it has been six months or more you are not likely to see much more improvement without further intervention.
