Vitiligo

Hi, I developed Vitiligo on a small part of my neck when I was 3 years old and its stayed in the same place all my life. I am 22 years old and it actually seems my skin pigment is coming back in the area.

Im looking into getting a breast augmentation and wondering if Silicone Gel implants will affect my Vitiligo in anyway?

Procedure: Breast Augmentation

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. A breast augmentation will not impact your vitiligo. I hope this helps.

No it should not affect it. It is curious that you only had it in one area. Maybe it is not vitiligo but a birth mark!?
