Too Toxic for Me
After researching recently, I learned most women experience side effects of breasts implants without realizing the toxic chemicals in implants are to blame. Sometimes it’s 20 years down the road that they realize it. I’ll list my update down below. First, some advice: Before you get breast implants get informed (by other women) about the risks. Join a breast implant illness group on Facebook and you will find that breast implants are ticking time bombs. Hundreds of thousand of women who become ill on different levels, later make tremendous recoveries after explant. They look better too! Younger, less inflamed, less puffy and even lose weight because the inflammation is gone.
My 4 year update after implants-
I love the look of breasts implants on my body. The doctor that performed my surgery did a perfect augmentation. However, I do not like the health side effects I have experienced since getting them. I feel responsible in letting other women know.
2 months after implants:
ulcerative colitis
Less than a year:
Alopecia areata
Vaginal irritation
Vitiligo
Within 3 years:
Major hair loss
Fatigue

I have Crohn's disease, fatigue (comes with Crohn's), I also have hashimoto. I don't have implants. I follow Nicole's bii on Facebook. I have for years! EVERYTHING those ladies experience, I have too! I have felt all the symptoms, had all the autoimmune diseases. I'm 38. Most of my problems started at 30, minus Crohn's. I've had that for 20 years.
So, if hundreds of thousands of women have BII, you have to include how many women have or have gotten implants. Otherwise, it's just a bias and persuasive narrative or debate. There are 5 million women in the USA, alone, that have breast implants. That number, also doesn't include reconstructive surgeries or breast cancer mastectomy patients. So, about . 04%. Or 1/25. Meaning, if you take 25 women, who all have implants, the odds of BII, is one of those girls having it. Just to give you the odds.

Thanks, it’s a very stretchy one-size material. It’s meant to be a swimsuit but I used it for an 80s aerobics instructor costume.

I’m 9 days away from my BA and have been obsessively reading through RealSelf. I came across your posts and I just wanted to say:
1) Thank you for your detail and commitment to sharing all of the steps/thoughts/emotions involved, as well as a full year follow up! It was soo helpful!
2) You look stunning and I think you made the perfect choice. They suit you exactly. I hope you love them!

Oh that is so great to hear, thank you! Wow, one more week for you! I don’t know if you ever went back and forth about surgery vs. staying natural but I did for years. Now I am happy I did this and I think if there were ever a reason I had to be flat again, I would maintain the added confidence I gained. There is something special that comes from giving to yourself. Although it is sometimes controversial, I am on the side that it’s possible to make changes to my body and love my body at the same time.

Cup Size Update 32DD :D
I went into Victoria’s Secret a few weeks ago just to browse. But I went ahead and let them size me just for kicks. Turns out I’m a 32DD in their brand. I tried on about a dozen bras because I wanted to know for sure that this was truly my size. Sure enough, the 32DDs fit perfectly with now gap on my sternum and full coverage graabbing all side boob. I will post pics soon. When was my last tey on? I think a few months post-op? It’s in my thread.
So believe the women when they say to get resized much later after drop and fluff!

I would schedule a consultation and just make sure you ask the surgeon.
