I wonder if it is the silicone that is the issue. Would be curious if saline cause these issues. I do not have implants as I chose lumpectomy /radiation, so I am not a good resource for you. But I would likely have chosen saline had I taken that route. There is also an autograft solution (taking tissue from abdomen and sliding it under the skin to the breast). That is the best in my opinion, but only done in Rochester and year long wait list. I am in Minnesota. There maybe other places as well. I wish you the best.
