APS and link to breast implants? Is there one?

Is there any connection between aps and breast implants? I’ve seen a couple of complicated articles stating there is a connection between silicon and immune disorders.

Had anyone heard this or does anyone believe that’s the reason for theirs? :-)

Hi,

Have you asked your APS-Specialist about that? Your Doctor should be knowledable of autoimmun disorders as a Specialist for APS.
