“Love Them at First Until I Got Sick - California ”
Spent: $4,500 in California
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...
