I have a metal allergy (severe: cobalt & nickel reaction). Can I still get breast implants?

Asked By:united21 in Victorville, CA

My metal allergies cause contact dermatitis and also SCD and last for months at a time. What risks are involved with this type of allergy and breast implants? I also have severe allergy to lanolin and propylene glycol just in case there's a possibility I may come into contact with those ingredients.
