I have been researching this very question for the past several days because I have developed a rash at 10 days post op from my breast augmentation. This is what I have found out so far.
1. Most plastic surgeons will tell you it is not due to your augmentation and will treat with various medicinal and topical regimes related to the symptoms and not the cause. Some sites warn you about the possibility of silicone reaction but don't go into detail.
2. Women with rashes will receive this treatment with some success. Basically, the rash will diminish or go away but for some, it will come back periodically.
3. This article: http://drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Silicone_Breast_Implants_and_Injections, talks about the relationship between silicone and your body's immune system response. What I get from Dr. Myhill's comments is that the body will try to protect you from the silicone and this "fight" going on in your body will manifest itself in other disorders, like rashes and autoimmune disorders.
4. Vitamin D somehow is very important in a couple of ways. Your plastic surgeon will recommend it if you develop capsular contracture. The above mentioned article says vitamin D with essential fatty acids can "reduce the autoimmunity".
I am not a doctor. I did not get thorough answers from my plastic surgeon. I hope this helps you and everyone else. We all need to understand what is going on with our bodies. Take care and may God protect us all :)
