Worried about BII and silicone "sweat"

October 16, 2023

Oh gosh. So I convinced myself breast augmentation with implants is safe. The surgery itself is safe. But after speaking with one doctor he told me how silicone implants immediately begins to sweat and silicone particles leak into the tissues in the body. Umm that's very concerning and does not sound safe at all. Any doctors want to elaborate on that or perhaps have a different opinion? I want to go into this with my eyes open.
