Breast implants and hairloss
I was wondering if anyone here developed alopecia after they got breast implants? I have had what my doctors says is alopecia working on three years now. I noticed that my hair loss started about 3 to 4 months after I got my breast implants. Then it stopped. It started back about 5 months after that then stopped again. This continued for about a year then it started to fall out more then not. I have read some things saying that breast implants can sometimes cause hairloss. Does anyone else believe that this may be true? Thankyou so much for taking the time to read this, Hve a wonderful day!! Erin

What do you think that the trigger was for you? I think that mine screwed up my auto immune system. My entire health has gone down hill since I got them. Not just my hair, but my joints, I have lost so much weight since I got them, and lots of other things. Do you still have your implants? I got mine taken out to see if I can regain my entire health. One was leaking and there was gunk floating in them and black stuff inside them I have no clue what that is. I have talked to alot of women who got sick and lost there hair and they too have breast implants Some of them have fully recovered once they got them removed. I no longer have joint pain and I have only had them out for 2 months so I really hope that with time my hair will improve too. Do you have any other health issues? I was perfectly healthy before and my hair was fine before my implants. If so you might want to check out toxic breast implants .com

OMG!! i hope not jejeje, i want my breast!! but i know what are u saying i saw documentary about that long time ago, the only problem i have it is my hair falling out like crazy the rest is fine, but sometimes i think about that, but try not to do that because i don know for sure if it is the reason, and to remove the implants is a big step.....and besides i think that my body would be rejecting my breast and they are soft.....so maybe but i have no idea.
my trigger!...it i would like to know!! jeje but i think it is my stupid immune system which dont have another thing to do that attack me

My very first symptom that I was sick from my implants was my hair. I had them for four years. I got a lift when I had them removed and they are little but much prettier then before implants. If i was you i would just go to the website that i told you about there are so many more also and ask some of the women about what you are going through and ask if they went through it too.

Can I ask what types of implants you had? Surgery can definitely cause hair loss, it's the drugs they use..that's a well known fact too.
Keep in mind Alopecia is caused from 8 different genes in your body. Some things in life will trigger it...like stress.
I have heard a lot of concerns with gel implants...if that's what you had...maybe that was your trigger.

I think it makes sense that anything "foreign" to our bodies could cause this kind of response. I think the Humira I took for my psoriatic arthritis triggered this bought of hairloss for me. Then with the stress of seeing one's hair fall out in clumps, we continue to keep our bodies in this vicious cycle unfortunately.

I haven't any implants lol but I do think the introduct of foreign substances into our body could introduce this confusion of our immune systems. I'm on a waiting list for joint replacement or fusion surgeries of my big toes which have been destroyed from arthritis. I am avoiding the replacement and opting for fusion for very reason I'm afraid of having silicon joints put into my feet. My immune system is taxed enough.
