Allergy to Saline Impants?
by kim11, Aug 22, 2007 06:35AM
I posted earlier about hives after BA. General Doc gave me low dose (4mg) and one week later shot
of prednisone. Some relief, but not total and he believes it could be reaction to BA meds, posion ivy
or saline implant allergic reaction. My rash started on day 17, I'm on day 27 now and the rash started on face, stomach, arm, now on chest, stomach (little on top of breasts) and legs. Some sunburned looking areas as well During BA I had pain pump, Z-pac, percocet. Could this be a reaction to implants or would med reaction take this long to leave body after prednisone?
Appreciate your input.

It is not likely that your reaction is related to your implants (unless medication was mixed with the saline placed in your implants).
