Silicone breast implants and hair loss?

Hello I am new to this board and was wondering if silicone breast implants and saline for that matter cause hair loss? I got my first implants (saline) 8 years ago then had a revision surgery (silicone) three years ago and have had heavy shedding with both but now my hair is no longer growing back. I am scheduled to see a doctor to have hormones and other blood work checked and such but was just wondering about the implants as I can trace my hair loss back to them. Thank you for any help.

Michelle

Hi Michelle,

I have had both silicone and saline and have not experienced the hair falling out with either. However, I have heard of that before. Do you think that it could be stress?

I wish you luck in finding out the source of your hair loss.

Re: Silicone breast implants and hair loss?

I have had saline implant and didn't have a problem, however a year earlier I had a tonsillectomy and I did have a significant amount of hair loss after this operation. Perhaps 20% of my hair fell out over a two week period. It seemed like so much and I panicked. I went to a specialist and he said my hair loss was from the anesthesia. I don't know if he was right. I do know this is the a canned or typical response.

I quit eating because of the pain associated with having my tonsils removed (by the way I'm writing a book it's called the "tonsil diet"). I don't think health wise I was prepared for this operation and went into it rather run down. That and everything else caused me to lose my hair.

When I had my BA I was prepared and I made certain that my diet and health were strong before going into the surgery. Might try vitamin supplements, healthy diet, make sure you're getting enough sleep and having your thyroid checked.

My hair is fine now. I hope this helps you my dear.

Re: Silicone breast implants and hair loss?

You both said you had implants, so I am assuming you do not have them any more? What made you decide to have them removed? I am actually considering removal of my silicone implants if they can't find any other reason for my hair loss. If you did have them removed how are the results of you breasts after having been implanted does it look good? Any info will help.

Re: Silicone breast implants and hair loss?

I still have my implants. I'm sorry for the confusion and I plan on having them for a long time too. I love my implants and wish I had done it a lot sooner.
