WORTH IT
Hello to everyone who has had implants and had them removed,and been before me.
I have had implants for 27 years which at the time my surgeon said would last a life time and would not affect my health.
So up to date I have become very unwell as they have ruptured and gone into my lymph nodes.
I have fibromyalgia, blurred vision, brain fog,
hair loss hormone problems, chest pain and burning..throbbing . a feeling of not being able to breathe ,swollen lymph nodes in my arms with silicone, swollen lymph nodes in my groin, ringing ears, burning pain in my knees and hips..some days I thought I was dying.. the list of symptoms could go on for ever...
And this doctor was the only surgeon who listened to me ..he didn't sit behind his desk..he pulled up a chair next to me and listened to how I was feeling. My prayers were being heard..
I was on a public hospital waiting list for 2 yrs and thought I would die.
So I set out to find a private plastic surgeon who would remove my silicone implants enbloc so I could try and get well.
I went to see at least 5 plastic surgeons and can say I found the best to do the job.
He has been a god sent ,because I was so sick. Dr Peter Widdowson
He spent over 1 1/2 hours just listening to how I would like my implants removed enbloc in order to get well and put me on a course of antibiotics and antifungals and help me detox as well.
He is using the holistic approach, and also took photos before and after of capsules removed and photos of the honey like substance that he had to suction out of my chest which was once an implant. They were ruptured excapsular and were coved in calcification and what looks like mold or something inside.. which IS ALL BEING SENT AWAY TO BE TESTED...Fingers crossed..
I will upload the photos next week when I go back to see him to get the drains removed.
So far from day 1 of removal ,I can breathe again and my sinusis which were blocked every day have cleared. My eyes that looked so droppy and unwell looked like the old me again. I am feeling so well I cant believe that would happen as soon as the silicone was removed..
But I am thinking my immune system has been given a break from working so hard to clear these toxin from my body.
I cant tell you how good I am feeling, I had my operation on the Wednesday and on Friday I was back to see the doctor and then again on Monday.
And on the following morning after the surgery at 8.30 am Dr Widdowsons office was ringing me to see how my pain was and drains and every day after I am so impressed.
Sorry I will up load the photos from my surgeon next week on my visit.
I could not speak more highly of this doctor and his staff. Especially Gayle...
I love the way she has taped up my poor sad breasts after all they have been through .
Dr Widdowson is the most caring genuine person you will ever meet.
I felt so blessed to find him to get me well and he is going to follow up my holistic detox .
I have been on this site for 2 years reading your reviews. And thank you to all the girls that gave me the courage to go ahead.
Now I have hope and I believe I can get well,because I have already seen in just a few days just how well I am feeling.
Sorry if this is a long story,but I hope I can help someone else to see that their is someone out their who is going to go that extra mile to help you to live again.
GOD BLESS ..

You have had such a terrible time! thank goodness you found a caring surgeon who is doing his best to get you healthy again. Best of luck with your recovery and I will look forward to seeing your updates. Sending you a big hug from across the ditch :-)

Thank you for you lovely reply. I had a look at your profile and a heart felt sorry for all you have been through xox
I dont trust mammograms as I was told to get one through the public hospital while I was on the waiting list and I believe thats what pushed the silicone through to my lymph nodes as it was not their in the previous mri or ultra sound. And I am so glad I went Private..I interviewed 5 surgeons before hand until I found the best...
The sinus cleared right after surgery ,as my surgeon put me on antifungal-Diflucan and antibiotics before hand from what I have read it is caused by an allergic reaction to the candidiasis pulmonary in the chest . All these symtoms...
It is so important to get it right the first time and make sure who ever you choose is going to do the job right the first time as you dont want to go through another surgery let alone the cost and make sure he tests every thing .And takes photos .My surgeon made sure to get the capsule out all in one and clean out the silicone.
And follow through with detox, but not just yet for detox.
I am on day 5 after surgery and feeling good ..no pain and still have drains
Hope to have them removed tomorrow and get him to down load my photos.
BLESS YOU X

Hi there...
Thanks for sharing your story! Glad you're feeling well and also that you had a great experience. My story is similar to yours in that I've had mine over 29 years, told they would last a lifetime are now ruptured and I'm chronically unwell. I figure I've got one chance to get this right and am desperately searching for the right surgeon in SE Qld. So far I've seen three and I'm a little meh with all for various reasons. Dr Widdowson recently came onto my radar and I was searching reviews when yours popped up on here... Synchronicity? I think so. Take care hun xx

Further to my previous comment, may I ask who your holistic dr is? Pm me if you prefer? Thanks xx
September 19, 2016
Hi thank you for your message. My Doctor is Dr Peter widdowson
He is a fully qualified plastic surgeon. Who is treating me holistic, most are only interested in taking your money.
But as I said you get one go at it to get it right the first time,women who leave the capsule in and don't do en bloc don't recover.
And Dr Peter Widdowson is following my progress and helping with detox in a few weeks time.
I have had a look under my plaster and tight bra and I am really happy to say they are not too bad.
Kind regards Kathy.
I am on day 6 and my health has improved 95% I didn't think it would be possible to see such improvement but it has been immediate.
I am so sure it is because my immune system has started to kick back in after fighting so had to fight the silicone and whatever else has been going on.
I have sent you a private message.
I knew I made the right decision straight after surgery when he came to me after the operation and showed me the mess that he had to suck out of my chest and the state of the capsules I felt ill just to look at it... And this was why my poor immune system was fighting so hard to get rid of this foreign toxic poison from my body. And all these other issues coming from that just kept popping up.

September 20, 2016
Thank you so much.
Yes I hope I can help someone who feels so unwell with implants to see what happens to these inside your body.
The implant its self had to be suctioned out and was like honey through my chest wall and in my lymph nodes.
Thank you for saying brave- I had been on here for years looking for answers and surgeons and felt I needed to pay it forward . Kind regards Kathy.

Oh my goodness
September 23, 2016
Glad to get rid of them...I had a look at yours they look great
My nurse taped mine up with thick tape like a mini breast lift so they would stay in place to heal..being careful to leave a hole for the nipple and that seems to be working well.When I had a look like you said they had not caved in which was my fear
But keeping them nice and tight will help them weld back together,I should have had a second bra like yours,that thick band wouldnt rub underneath like my own one did I ended up putting the doctors one back on.. Bless you x
Happy healing to the new healthy all you x

What is all of that white stuff in the implant?
December 23, 2016
So happy you got these out! And so glad you posted. This information now out there for anyone who needs to find it - if they are willing to look. These implants are so damaging to our health. I had no less than 5 sets over 22+ years and suffered almost all the symptoms you did but mine were still in tact. To me that says that the natural bleed each year that passes caused the symptoms or maybe it's just an immune response - the body trying to fight something foreign. Doctors are still selling the fact that these are safe and harmless devices. Some women never have an issue but from reading the stories on this forum there are a lot of women who do. I hope you are feeling better every day! Thank you for sharing your journey! It's so nice to hear you are feeling better!
December 24, 2016
I think your right Lisa0714, on all parts!! I think the natural bleed happens each year slowly. My implants very, very slowly each year showed more and rippling it was so gradual, I wonder if this would have been a side effect of natural bleed, because I wasn't loosing weight at all. The shell starts to decompose. And of course gradual increase in autoimmune issues came too. The good thing is more honest plastic surgeons and primary care doctors are admitting that this can happen, notice I said the HONEST ones. Well, all we can do is warn other women. Most of the time, like I was, they are so greedy for breasts, they can't see clearly. I know I was one of them. I went even further and said all you women are lieing or it just would have happened to you anyway. I was pretry vocal about it too, amazing how humbled I had to become and eat a lot of humble pie.

Thank you . Yes the silicone can go through the body if its in the lymph nodes it can go any where . Silicone is so toxic to the body . So many people are getting sick even from the new Gummy Bear implants and its showing up right away ...another new money spinner..lol The textured implants were more damaging. I hope you are doing well.

Still getting better every day
Starting to get itchy from the stitches starting to heal ,the only thing I can do is rub them over the top of the plaster.
Today was my first day out.. without the drains.. I felt human again.
Take care my lovely too [RS bleep]
