Can saline breast implants really cause hair loss?! (Breast Implants & Hair Loss)

posted by ConnieG, 06.02.2007, 12:58

I'm wondering if any of you women could have a hormonal hair loss. I have a hormone problem concerning androgens, which your body can either make too much of or the receptors in the skin are too sensitive to the normal levels. I have the extra-sensitive androgen receptors, and I have been losing scalp hair, growing whiskers, acne, depression, etc. I see an Endocrinologist to get Spironolactone, which is an antiandrogen. This helps all my symptoms. I have been considering breast implants and wondering about potential problems because the breast is, of course, a female organ and I don't know if this "trauma" of implants could set off some hormonal problem. Also, during perimenopause and menopause, the relationship between a woman's estrogen levels and androgen levels changes, with estrogen levels dropping for a number of years. So it it common during that period for women to have hair thinning and to grow whiskers. I've been helped by the book that Dr. Geoffrey Redmond, an Endocrinologist has published. His first book saved me 10 years ago! He has a website, www.hormonehelpny.com, which I would recommend.
