I have been gravely ill because of implants. I got implanted in september of 2006 with mentor saline implants. I am only 25. Three months after surgey i began to experience extreme fatigue weightloss, rashes, numbness and pain in my extremitys and dizziness. I have deloped mayn automimmune disorders, test postive for mold and lupus. Do your research please. Nothing foregin should go into the body. There are tons of chemicals in implants.

I had saline implants 11 years ago and have never had a problem. They still look great and I've never had any ill effects as a result of having them in my body. Saline is just salt water so in the unlikely event one would rupture the salt water would just be absorbed into the body.

As Lula said, saline implants are just that - saline solution in a capsule. If it leaks, it gets absorbed by the body without harm done.

This sounds phony - developed "many" autoimmune disorders? Please. These reactions are common to leaking silicone implants, not saline. I've had smooth round Mentors for 8 yrs with not a single problem. I would absolutely do it again.

My story is similar to jrhae. Had and implant for 16 years. Developed Raynauds, Scleroderma, PBC. Had the implant removed 5 years ago and I'm about 90% better. Was told I had "atypical autoimmune problems." Fatigue has lifted, dry eyes & mouth is very much improved. At 10 years past implant I was still saying it was great. Well, not so great. I wish you luck!!!!!
