I have one. It is no big deal. And I also am allergic to nickel. This is not something to worry about. Is this displaced anxiety about whether you have cancer?

I have 4. At least one migrated, but it doesn’t really matter. No issues.

I have a mouthful of titanium dental implants and a titanium marker/clip in one breast. All good.

OP, thanks for asking the question! I too am going for a callback look and was wondering about the titanium with a nickel allergy. May all go well for both of us.

Why would anyone think that if you react to nickel, you would also react to titanium?


Some titanium alloys contain nickel. But nickel allergy is very common so I would be surprised if the implants do contain nickel, that would be poor planning from the manufacturer.


I’m very sensitive to metals including nickel, and I had no issue with the titanium marker.


Same. The biopsy marker has not been an issue.

I can only wear titanium, platinum, or 18-24k gold jewelry. Allergic to all else.
