I am considering a breast lift with augmentation, however, I have a sensitivity to silicone had to stop wearing contact lenses due to this sensitivity and had an issue after sinus surgery when silicone nasal stent caused a bad reaction and had to be removed prematurely. Any suggestions?

Answer: Afraid not... Thank you for your email inquiry. There are no implants on the market without a silicone shell.There are implants with an outer coating of polyurethane but they also contain silicone in their shells. An alternative to implant augmentation is using your own tissue in the form of autologous (your own) fat injections. Please consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who can advise you on all of your options. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Breast implants Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Currently, all FDA approved implants have a silicone shell. This would mean that your options for improved appearance of your breasts include a lift and possible fat grafting for volume. You may be limited in how much fat can be transferred and how much will survive over time. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
