Why do you all say, "the implants did not cause your symptoms"? (photos)

Question

I have several doctors and have been for second opinions, reviews and get the same answer, "definitely, your implants did not cause your sickness". Immediately after my breast augmentation, I started swelling severely, later to find out it was Cushings' Syndrome. I looked like a freak. Was there some type of gag order signed? I am reading more and more implants with the same outcomes.

The reason you have heard that your implants could not have been the cause of your diagnosis of Cushing's disease is because there is no way that your implants caused this.  Cushing's syndrome occurs when your body is exposed to high levels of cortisol for an extended period of time.    Where you taking corticosteroids either before or after your surgery?     It is also possible that for some reason your body has begun making too much cortisol.   I wish you luck in your treatment, but I can assure you that in no way would breast augmentation be the source of your condition.
