Carolyn,
Hello,
I’m not sure how they would disintegrate since the shell that containing the “gel” is exactly the same shell as the one used for saline. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with your implants but I feel like you are trying to scare me or something. I checked out all types of implants thoroughly before I exchanged my saline for silicone and feel totally comfortable with my decision. I also have friends who have silicone implants and nursed their children with absolutely no problem. I however, have no plans on nursing.
Our contact with silicone is extensive throughout all of our lives and it is used widely in medicine. Silicone is used as a lubricant in every disposable needle, syringe and intravenous tubing. Silicones are used in lipstick, suntan lotions, food processing, skin creams, hair spray, and cosmetics. Over 1000 medical products use silicone as a component or in the manufacturing process including artificial heart valves, joints, and pacemakers.
Carolyn:
These are memory gel so the silicone isn’t liquid so I don’t think this applies to these implants I will check on that though. I dont plan on having them removed. I will have them replaced in about 10 years or so.
