Hashimoto's and Breast Implants?

January 11, 2024
Asked By:fan44car in Washington, District of Columbia

Looking for some advice regarding silicone breast implants and autoimmune disorders! I'm 26, female, and my Hashimoto's has been well regulated for several years now via Synthroid. I'm currently scheduled to get breast implants next month, and I've just been reading a lot of conflicting information about potential side effects. Is there any medical reason why I would be at greater risk for negative long-term side effects due to my Hashimoto's? Thank you.
