I have chemical toxicity from silicone breast implants. Should I proceed with explanting?

Asked By:GymGirlML in Westerly, Rhode Island

I have just been told that my dizzy symptoms and tightness in my neck/ throat are due to chemical toxicity from my silicone memory gel breast implants. I have been recommended I get a total capsulectomy, detox, and treat coinfections if there are any. My question is... Is there any chance that my symptoms will go away if I do not explant (only have had implants 5 months)? And if I do explant, will I get better (no longer feel dizzy)??
