The dangers of breast implants

share your stories, experiences, etc.

Really frightening with how many health impacts your doctor will glaze over, make light of etc.

30% of women experience encapsulation. Happened to my sister 2xs. She then had to go through several surgeries for removal, scar tissue removal and reconstruction.

Once you encapsulate the first time your 2xs the risk of it repeating.

My mother, who has had back issues slipped disk etc in the past, has been experiencing many symptoms such as arm numbing and back pain for the last year and a half.

She has had her silicone implants in for 8 years (warranty is for 10 years). She's done epidural shots for the pain, and done numerous MRI's for her back.

This woman is an athlete. Kayaks (well used too) for 8 hours, stand up paddle boards, swims and runs miles. Suddenly she can barely move.

I've been encouraging her to look into the implants since her doctors are stumped as to what is causing the pain.

She did an MRI on her implants and sure enough, there is leakage from them. It all adds up.

These things are TOXIC AF.

Think carefully before doing something for cosmetic reasons that will end up fucking up your health drastically.

I know 3 other women who have experienced complications with their implants. Wild.

She's now going to have to undergo major surgery to have them removed, have the scar tissue scraped away, and then go through either a lift or reconstructive surgeries. Scary thing for someone in their 60s. Feeling very worried for her.

IMO its not worth the health risks associated.

All that risk for the sake of vanity

I hope your mum will be okay ❤️

It's just like any cosmetic surgery. So many risks with bone manipulation, especially across repeated surgeries. If you're developing you may take a plunge way down south in unexpected ways. Like if you get your nose straightened, it can end up like twice as asymmetrical as before you even fucked with it, etc. Don't get me started on all the things not talked about with Sex Changes.

To a real Scientist, cosmetic surgery is a joke. It's playing Mr Potato Man with human physiology. It's barbaric as fuck.

Nevermind that unless your tits were significantly unattractive. No man seriously likes the way breast implants look. There's no natural weight to them, they're like round soccer balls. No perkiness at all and nowhere near as awesomely squishy as the natural deal.

What's your opinion on bariatric surgery?

I got saline implants but yeah silicone leak is toxic

Saline when it ruptures you know right away cause it kinda deflates. The silicone theres no way to know really cause it appears the same. Don't know much past that between the two.

How long have you had yours?

Saline implants are just salt and water and The body just absorbs the water and salt. I wouldn’t want to use silicone cause that just sounds gross if it ruptures. It’s not a natural substance so who knows wth it would do.

But I would get plastic surgery for sure.

I want some

Maybe the fat transfers are better??

Maybe the fat transfers are better??

My sister did the fat transfers after her botched implant surgeries. Its kinda 50/50 and needs to be done multiple times.

But then if you lose weight your back to square one...?

Imo I say saline is the way to go and do a lot of research on doctors.

Some of these doctors have the most lavish buildings, much like the megachurch racket.

Yeah and what about their houses— Like I don’t get it. You can only do so many surgeries in a day. How are some of these surgeons millionaires and others are just upper middle class, yet they seem to be just as busy as the other.

encapsulation is your body’s reaction to a foreign object, sure it’s not a good thing and needs to be fixed, but it’s not like ‘omg illness‘

I’ve decided to have a breast lift with implants and I’m about to do it this year probably. simply because I don’t think I have much to lose. they’re not gonna look worse. sure I’m scared of needing multiple surgeries, but that’s not really a common thing if you choose a decent doctor and take care of everything post op. my boobs have seriously fucked up my life and self esteem, the only thing I’ve seen as an exit is surgery... been thinking about it since 14. now I’ll turn 24 and the time has come

I hope it’s a smashing success.
