    Default Breast Implants causing hair loss???

    This is a question to all the ladies on this board who have breast implants either silicone/ saline. I have had saline breast implants for almost a year now and i have noticed that ever since getting them, my hair has thinned out and falls out more than it ever did before i got them. Can any of you tell me wether or not you have experienced / noticed anything similar.

    Worried :'(

    You might want to get into the Dr. I have a feeling it is something else. I have saline implants (got them 3 1/2 years ago) and I have not had any problems with hair loss. So please go see your Dr. as soon as you can. I hope all goes okay. I will be thinking of you.

    Sorry to hear this is happening Maya. I never heard about this being a problem. I think SexyNinjaGirl gave a great comment. Go see your doctor ASAP. Also if you think it's the implant ask to get a mamogram. Good Luck.

    Yes this is true.I know several women with implants that have the same problems.There was a thread about this a while back and this caused a huge debate, but I believe it to be true.Not everyone with implants will develope these problems but some do.They aslo say silicone filled are more likely to cause these problems, as most of the people I know who had problems had silicone, some had them taken out and replaced with silicone with no relief.I had one friend who had to wear a morphine patch constantly for her continuous pain.Hopefully you just have a vitamin deficiancy or something I know when I was on prozac my hair fell out alot too,as well as coloring it often,well good luck hopefully you are fine.

    perhaps the problems were caused by liquid silicone leaking into the body...

    Michele, do y9ou mean your friend took out the silicone and had them replaced with saline?

    Yes saphire,sorry about the mistake.By the way the fda did not put silicone back on the market and yes I have seen first hand that implants do cause these problems,these same symptoms have also been reported in infants that were breast fed by woen with implants and men who have silcone based implantation devices and yes it is true.Of course these diseases arent something that can be proven to be caused by anything so doctors will dismiss it and lets face it Iam sure manufacturers of implants have paid off doctors to make tests favor the implant companies.Also if you get them now ,you have to be part of a study for the rest of the time you have them.For those who dont believe what silicone can do, go on the silicone houlocaust web site,there are also numerous books out there by many doctors on the subject,also common sense will tell you what foriegn objects can do to the body.
