Had breast implant illness, just had removal. What is the black inside the plug? Both implants have it? (Photo)

The black spot is likely blood products.  Were the implants sent for analysis by the explanting surgeon?  I would discuss your concerns with your doctor and see if there any information is available from pathology.

The dark color you see in the valve of the saline implant is most probably blood trapped in the valve.The question why you "the patient: have these explanted implants????If there was implant sickness and you had the implants removed, then the implants should have been sent for pathology or to the company for complete examination.The implant cavity should have been cultured for bacteria, fungus, and every possible bacteria, the same for the capsule.The dark color in the valve should have been cultured under sterile conditions in the operating room and sent for cultures of bacteria, fungus and every possible bacteria..Now the implants are with you sitting under non sterile conditions, will get contaminated and examinations, cultures, watching is worthless and have lost the opportunities to make a good scientific conclusion.There is nothing in the scientific literature to prove the effectiveness of detoxification other than taking your money. Any practice who has even 10 cases of reversal of symptoms after detoxification should report it to peer review journals and the scientists should weigh in on the conclusions. Meanwhile do not let non science play on your fears and symptoms. See your medical doctors, specialists for full work up and proper treatment.

There is a small chance that the material in the area of the plug however in a paper on fungal infection in breast implants by Truppman, et al. the fungus was usually in the implant and was found when filling systems used where a metal valve and rubber tubing which was sterized for each case. Call the implant manufacturer and they will probably want the implant sent to them for evaluation. Since the implants are out you probably don't need any therapy.

If there is a slight chance you have implant illness, your implants should have been sent to pathology and not home with you.   Most likely, the black you see are blood products.  Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Most plastic surgeons know very little about disease from defective breast implants as mold biotoxin illness is politically incorrect.  Watch the implants over the next two weeks to see if mold grows inside the implant.  If you have a fibromyalgia type or neurological type illness, then you will need total capsulectomy, antifungals for several months around surgery, immune and endocrine support, and biotoxin detoxification to regain your health.  I have treated several thousand patients successfully with this disease.
