Is there any specific test(s) that can conclusively determine if a patient might be suffering from silicone toxicity?

Asked By:KateB11 in Tampa, FL

I have 8 year old smooth, cohesive gel implants, that I happen to be very happy with, aesthetically, and really do not want to remove them if I don't have to for health reasons. However, I've had multiple autoimmune issues over the past few years that have severely limited me, and without any concrete answers, I have come to suspect the implants.
