Health issues with saline implants (without rupture)?

April 14, 2015
Asked By:feelingdeceived in Omaha, NE

I had a breast augmentation a little over 10 years ago. The implants are saline. I have heard of numerous women having unexplained health problems with saline implants. None of them had ruptured implants. Some of the health problems they had include chronic fatigue, chronic pain, brain fog, and a general overall feeling of malaise, to name a few. I, too, am having these issues, plus many more. Have any of you had a patient that had this experience? If yes, did their health improve after removal?
