I : I have never encountered a true allergic reaction to breast implants. If you are referring to capsular contracture of scar around your implants that can be dealt with by your surgeon. Capsules surrounding any implant is a normal reaction in the body but occasionally women can develop contracture of that capsule making the breasts feel hard and distorting shape. This is not an allergy to the implants. This is not an autoimmune response to implants. Current thought about capsular contracture is that because the breast has is own normal bacteria and the body can have changes in theses bacteria causing inflammation to occur. Just like a change in normal bacteria can lead to a sire throat or diarrhea... So complete removal of the capsule and new implants will need to happen to lower recurrence rates. Placement of implants below the muscle also has been shown to lower these recurrence rates... Some controversy regarding lower rates with textured implants exists.. Best of luck to you.

If : If you are planning to have your implants replaced because you have "a reaction", i assume you are speaking of a capsular contracture, then switching to saline implants of smooth type under the muscle may resolve your problems. Good luck from nyc.Or www.Brazilianbuttocks.Com.

Maybe? : Hard to answer precisely, not knowing exactly what type of “reaction” you are having. Most patients in your situation are experiencing breast implant encapsulation ( heavy/thick scar tissue around the breast implants). If this is the case, patients can have breast implants replaced, often after scar tissue removed as well. Your plastic surgeon will be able to provide you with more specific advice.
