Body rejecting implants?

This might sound strange but My body seems to reject foreign objects! If I wear earrings for too long, my ears go red and itchy, even if they are good quality, or hypoallergenic. I had my belly button pierced years ago and had to take it out because it never healed properly. I had my coil taken out because my body kept fighting it and my White blood cell count went up.

I am wondering if I do go ahead and get my boobs done, will it be the same thing? I know it’s something I can discuss with the surgeon but I was just wondering Is anyone on here similar and went through the op without problems?

Thanks x

oh dear, I never thought about that! I can’t wear any earrings, after an hour I’m pulling at my ears as they swell up, and same happened with my coil too. That said, I did manage to keep my navel piercing in although it was infected for absolutely ages. I’m having my op next weds, will let you know. Hope it’s not an omen!

This is my biggest fear, on a par with getting a hole and seeing the implant…I would freak out seriously. I am sure your surgeon will be able to guide you, like you said. Seems to me you have reactions to metal? How are you with latex, plastic etc? xxx

Hi Hun Im same as you earings. piercings and coil Ive had my implants for nearly 5 months and all fine xx

Thanks Princess, sorry to add to your worries before your op! I am sure it’s not an issue. Hi Nikibockerglory, I am not aware of any allergies with latex and plastic, am able to wear latex gloves without worry. I thought the coil was plastic but I forgot, there are two little metal threads on them. So possible metal allergy! Just make sure there aren’t any staples used!!!

Thanks Katy84. Glad it’s gone well for you. Just another one of those random worries that keep popping into my head!

I also have trouble with my body healing to piercings etc. The only problem I’ve had since the op is an infection in the wounds. The surgeon said it might be my body not liking the dissolvable stitches, or that my bra was sitting right on the wounds and irritating them. Either way, I’m all sorted now- so as long as you stay vigilant to any pus/redness in the wounds, you should be fine! xx

Thanks for replying laurakate! Hope you didn’t suffer too much. it’s good to know that others are the same and it doesn’t cause too many problems xx
