ORIGINAL POST
I can't say I don't know the reason why I got them...
$8,500
I can't say I don't know the reason why I got them or that I absolutely regret their look and feel, I can't say they make me look super fake, they went with my body without any hardened look, hard capsule, or appearance issues. I was flat, not skinny, insecure, always wishing for boobs and size... What I can say is ....they contain WHAT? Heavy metals!!!! They cause HOW many heAlth ISSUES including cancer, autoimmune diseases and the many problems I'm probably experiencing right now!?!!! Enough said! they have to go! Explant scheduled about a week away, March. I did read most of the positive and negative reviews about the surgeon and I'm sure I'm going to the right lady for the job. Will update shortly on my symptoms and more. Please contact me for any reason. God bless!!!

Good on you girl! :) Silicone isn't the way... We all felt we weren't enough, funnily we are ALL wrong, but if we prefer boobage that's for no one to judge! ;) I'm going to see how I settle then perhaps look into a fat transfer to correct any asymmetry on account I will probably lose some on ruptured side... I'm next in line to the itty bitty tittle committee! ;) [RS bleep] better out than in Shrek always says! Lol... [RS bleep]

Thank you for the sweet comments ladies! I'm due on Mar 23, which is a full moon! Helene1, I wish they would have told you, ya don't need the lift, you are young, but it's already done, so do the best you can for your scars, and they should be less visible within a year. I saw the result of certain fat transfers 40abouttobefree, and the loss of it after a while doesn't convince me to get it. Until they develop a safe fat retaining method up there, I'm not sold!
March 17, 2016
True, about half of whatever they implant of fat dies... And I hear other factors are involved too, like apparently it survives better under a local because bodys more stressed by General etc... Poor little fat cells! Lol... Yea if I'm little but not too dented etc I will probably just live as is!... It's just a backup for my mind lol... But I'm gonna be happy to be small again, I really am gonna embrace it! :) Hope you have a great weekend! [RS bleep]

Good luck for your explant ! I had my implants removed 8 months ago, and it is so comfortable !!! Of course, it takes a little time to adjust to your new body. I still feel self conscious, because I really hate my scars and the shape of my breasts (they were tuberous), and because I 'm flat as a board, but I feel less self conscious than with my fake boobs !
March 17, 2016
Love these pics! I think they are perfect and beautiful! Good luck with your surgery and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Thanks so much for sharing. You look beautiful either way. I can't wait to see your update after. I'm scheduled for April. I have saline under muscle for 14 yrs. I also have so many autoammunine symptoms. My biggest struggle is my bladder disease which I have constant urinary pressure and frequency from almost everything I eat even vitamins I can't tolerate. So I'm a little scared of all the things that I need to put in my body for surgery. Hoping in the end it will get better and Wish you the same!

Breast Implant Illness , one study's (mine) symptoms
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HEAR YOUR BREAST IMPLANT RELATED ILLNESS SYMPTOMS
(There are a lot of very well paid doctors on this site who all say the same, there is no such thing it doesn't exist, well let them sleep well with their extra money and huge egos, this stuff is real and we suffering from it are here and strong to expose it. By the way we're supposed to be reimplanting, not explants, aw shoot are we losing them business? Follow the money when it comes to "happygolucky don't worry be happy blabbing docs!" So please don't hesitate to share)
-Hair loss, hair thinning, scalp itch,scalp inflammation, scalp pain, scalp pinkness, scalp systic acne
-Eyes blurry at times of inflammation, sensitive, dryness in the morning
- Face hotspots, ear flushing, headaches, forehead pain, head feels gonna burst,
- Nipple pains two weeks before period, during and after, sometimes Few weeks with nipple pain. Nipple sensation went down a lot, or goes up to pain and discomfort
-Dizziness, tinnitus, and high/low blood pressure issues
-Food sensitivities allergies, at times simple (healthy) food hurt me with downtime, fatigue, and gastric pains
Brain fog, fatigue,
Hyperthyroid (night/day, food affects)
Fibromyalgia, gotta love this word eh? It means ur muscles are to suffer from whatever is throwing ur immune system off and out of balance and is caused by whatever may lower ur immune ability. Ur body wants to be free and relax ur muscles but they are taken hostage by one or more invading factors!
Shoulder, pain, soreness, muscle spasm, muscle knots, prolonged soreness after workouts, little relief after deep tissue. Joint pains, increased by environmental conditions.
Gas, bloating, leaky gut, constipation, (stresses of many kinds will cause these common problems, but foreign objects in ur body are not the exclusion). Painful menstruation, with extreme abdominal pains and muscle spasms. Gastritis, developed years after implants in, if it isn't related it sure is made worse by the lowered immune function of the body.
Arms, pain numbness, hand pain, numbness, finger joints pain, soreness,
HYPERSENSITIVITY this thing goes deep from food allergies and sensitivities, to sensitivities to various smells (chemical and cig smoke especially) , loud sounds, and when my bucket is really full then emotional sensitivity as well. A couple of times I almost passed out by eating a small amount of food that I could once tolerate. Had a couple of wake seizures. Not able to take many supplements bcz of either their acidity content or fillers irritating me.
Lowered immune system leading to easy fatigue, prone to sunburns, prone to aging skin, poor ability to stay asleep and get restful sleep. Stomach issues make it harder to get some sleep. Also led to infections, Candida albicans, parasites, that fun stuff.
Thank God that I'm a health nut and do my best to avoid bad situations, if I wasn't meticulously watching what I ate and doing my best with an alternative lifestyle plus listening to my body I'm sure my troubles would double in size. I'm blessed to be working with a really good Dr. Who actually pointed me in the direction of dr. Feng, and said that he did a lot of research about breast implants to come to recommend me to do something about them!

Gawsh!... That's me to a tee!!!... Where was this list when we consented to putting these chemical bags in us?! :( I am going to post my list of all ailments on my post later, whether related or not who knows...but it's strikingly obvious most are because like you, I'm eating so carefully now, can't go shoe shopping for the glues overwhelm me, etc etc, yes even just a whiff of smoke chokes me, etc... Tinnitus... Yup...I get facial numbness when stressed, wondered if it was mini seizures but too scared to check it out... Ugh.. My countdowns started!!! ... :) xxxx Thanks for posting this!!! [RS bleep]

Hmm, very interesting. I still get facial pain when stressed, but how are the rest of your symptoms now? Or you can also answer that question six months from now.... These things take time y'all!
June 8, 2016
Hi lovely! :) oh wow, I'm in detox mode so not fun, lol, so yes ask me in six months... But I can say yes some health side effects are getting better!... If I look through the detoxing! ;)
March 25, 2016
Ladies can you please add your symptoms on this thread! Anyone pain in hands and feet?
March 26, 2016
I got to the point where I could barely stand upon waking - my feet hurt a lot and made it so hard to work out
My hands a little but numbness and tingling in my left pinky and ring finger (aide I had horrific pain on)

I also have numbness and tingling in my left pinky finger. It happened suddenly in the middle of the night. Woke me up. Felt like needles. Has been this way for 8 years now. It still tingles and itches when it flares up, Is always numb.
June 8, 2016
Wow, ok thanks ladies. Yes for me it was only in the hand when I slipped off my diet. When I eat well (most of the time) the symptoms disappear. Try and see if it ever occurs close to you eating anything that can have a connection with your symptoms (trigger food). Inflammation often comes from food but if these things are in us, it could be a tenfold symptom as well.
June 8, 2016
ps how are you feeling now luvy?... Hey I'm doing colonics to rid myself of any old built up waste so as to detox better, it's working! Also taking Neem in liquid form, it aids enzymes and cleans and chelates blood poisons!... Good bitter stuff! ;) oh also, I wrote my symptoms over on my site... Hey but found this too... Thought you might like it...[RS bleep]
Silicone elicits antibody responses and immunological abnormalities, according to a study of 40 women who had received implants more than ten years earlier. Among these women, 60% had an elevated ratio of helper T cells to suppressor T cells; 20% had a blockage in particular functions of T cells and natural killer cells. (Toxicology Industrial Health 8:6 [November/December 1992], 415-429.) Scientists at the University of California at Davis reported that evidence suggests that the degradation products of silicone inactivate CD8+ suppressor T cells (key immune cells) and thereby lead to an inflammatory state in the body. (Food and Chemical Toxicology 32:11 [November 1994], 1089-1100.) The activity of natural killer cells is significantly suppressedin at least 50% of women with silicone implants observed in a study; this puts the women at a higher risk of developing cancer. The same effect was demonstrated in animals; it was reversed upon removal of the silicone. (Toxicology and Industrial Health 10:3 [May/June 1994], 149-154.)
