Has the Removal of my Ruptured Silicone Implants Caused my Pneumothorax and Histerectomy?

I had my implants removed in 2004 after symptoms of fatigue and lumps in my joints and armpit.It was confirmed they had ruptured and a biopsy confirmed large amounts of silicone in my armpit.2 years later my lung collapsed 3 times leading to a pleurectomy and a year after that had further silicone and lymth nodes removed.2 years later i underwent a hystorectomy and before they were removed had only been in hospital to have my children.I strongly beleive this is down to my implants.Am I correct

Silicone Gel Implant Rupture and Pneumothorax.....?

Thank you for the question. I'm sorry to hear about the variety of medical problems you have experienced the past several years. Unless I'm missing an important part of your history, I cannot see how you're ruptured silicone gel breast implants have any connection to pneumothorax and/or hysterectomy several years later. Please let me know if I'm missing a link between these events. Best wishes.

Is anyone surprised at the lack of comment from the Doctors. There are only a few doctors in the world that will admit that silicone implants are dangerous. They are just too lucrative. Anyone want to hear a horror story - contact me! kat2313@yahoo.com
