Posted 11 Jan 2011

I have had implants for the last 8 years and I love them at first until I started getting sick. I have had strange symptoms on and off, dizziness, heart palpitations, chronic digestive upsets,muscle spasms and more and doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. I tested positive for ANA, which is a marker for Autoimmune and also have had a low C# level for the last few years, which could indicate Lupus. I don't think I have Lupus as I'm not sun sensitive and don't get the rashes. I started to think it could be my breast implants. I finally decided to have them removed and found small bacteria particles floating in them and one of the implants was slightly deflated. I had the implants analyzed only to find out they had bacteria growing in them which was probably leaching in my Body. GROSS!! I went to a board certified plastic surgeon and nothing was ever mentioned about possible bacteria. I wish I had never gotten these implants as now I feel that they have already stretched out my skin and I will forever need them to have normal looking breast again. My breast were really nice Full C cups and now I'm a DD. I also found out that implants have over 35 known poisonous chemical in them, even saline like mine are covered in a silicone shell. Lady's I would wait for the stem cell fat transfer and save yourself a possible autoimmune disease down the road. Once you get implants you will always have to have them if you don't want your breast to look horrible. Again I was fine for 8 years, until the valve began leaking the bacteria saline water in my body...

I'm so sorry you're having problems with your implants! Do you have implants now or are you au naturale?
