Sorry to hear about your health issues. Though you didn't specifically ask, I'm assuming you want to know if your liver and brain lesions are related to your breast implants. The short answer is "highly unlikely". However, I will also say that millions of women have had breast implants placed over the past 50 years. The vast majority have had no negative side effects. There was controversy in the early 1990’s over the safety of silicone implants leading to a partial ban on silicone implants by the FDA. After extensive studies, the FDA released silicone for general use in 2006 after finding that silicone and saline implants had essentially the same complication rates. Many articles have been published over the past 20 years regarding “silicone-induced diseases”. Likewise, articles have been published showing that silicone and saline implants are not causing diseases. So, the “jury” is still out. However, there is one entity that no one disputes. Anyone can have chronic infection of a foreign body (breast implant, pacemaker, artificial joint, or any other implanted synthetic object). Germs can live on a foreign body and secrete a “bio-film” which is like an umbrella covering them. Therefore, antibiotics or your own natural immune system cells cannot fight this infection. The germs live on the foreign body and give off their waste products thereby causing a whole host of symptoms such as fatigue, itching, rashes, tingling, joint pain, toxic shock syndrome, insomnia, depression, hair loss, memory loss, headaches, mood swings, etc… The human body will typically detect there is a problem and wall off this infection with layers of scar tissue. This makes it even harder for the immune system cells or antibiotics to attack these germs. Therefore, the only way to clear this type of problem is by removing the foreign body and the surrounding scar tissue capsule. Then the body’s immune system is able to clear out the remaining germs because they no longer have the foreign body on which to latch on. However, it is important to emphasize that this may or may not cause the improvement of the symptoms. Also, it may take months or years to fully recuperate from the damage done by the chronic infection.
