Surgeon refused silicone BA because I may have latex allergy. I am allergic to many things but why are they refusing me?

 I remember years ago they toyed with the idea of filling breast implants with peanut oil....  imagine those allergies! I think they called them Breast "Im-Planters".... other than if the surgeons own operating facility cannot handle a latex allergy patient, I cannot think of any reason why you could not have silicon implants... just make sure you get the ones that are bamboo shoot free!!! They're not hard to find!!!

Thank you for your question. Sounds like there may have been some miscommunication in the planning process. There should be no contraindication to you have breast augmentation with a latex allergy. There are some operating facilities that do not take patients with latex allergy due to the cost of provided non-latex items and if your surgeon does not have privileges at another facility that can accommodate a person with latex allergy, that might be a reason why they are refusing you. Regardless, there are plenty of surgeons in your area who would be more than willing to accomodate you, so I suggest you seek out a second opinion.Best of luck!
