Mold infested workplace and breast implants

First, you need to find another job. You do not need to be breathing all that mold. Second, it is very unlikely that mold will actually enter your implants. Mold must be present in your breast tissue, get through the capsule (very slim chance if not torn), get through the seal of the valve, and then get into the implant through the small tube in the seal. Your lungs and eyes are at much greater risk.

I would go see a board-certified plastic surgeon (with 6 year integrated plastic surgery training and 1 year The Aesthetic Society accredited fellowship). We have the capability to perform ultrasound in the office to evaluate the integrity of the breast implant. I have not heard of any case of mold inhalation leading to implant problems. Regardless, without an evaluation in person, it is difficult to make any recommendations or provide a plan.

Hello, thank you for your question. No that is not possible for you to inhale mold spores and then it get to your breast tissue. The only way for mold to get into the implant if it was introduced in the through the incision. Sounds like an very unhealthy place to work. Are there work regulations building code in place? Speak to your plastic surgeon about your concerns and they can examine and assess your breast tissue.
