@Regrann from @geenabennett - Written by a female MD... something huge to think about... (I don't mean any offense or judgement to my friend and family with implants. I only want to educate in case any of you go through the hell I did with implants or I can save anyone from possibly having to go through it themselves.) "Breast implantation is a multibillion dollar windfall for participating manufacturers and doctors; for women, it’s a potential, scientifically proven nightmare. Interestingly, the FDA has not approved a silicone testicular implant due to inadequate testing." "Females should think hard and educate themselves fully before deciding to sign up for breast implant surgery. The short and long term considerations should include, but not be limited to: risk of surgery and anesthesia pain change in the shape, consistency and movement of the breast(s)
tenderness and lumpiness around the implant unsatisfactory sexual response related to decreased sensitivity, numbness and deformity inadequate milk supply for breast feeding potential transfer of silicone, platinum and other toxic implant ingredients to breastfed offspring
implant recipients 3 - 4 times more likely to commit suicide, 2X more likely to die of brain cancer, 3X more likely to die of lung cancer, overall 21% increased cancer risk
ruptured implants associated with chronic, debilitating, potentially fatal autoimmune disorders
brain fog, trouble concentrating, memory loss
implants’ limited shelf life insures more surgery will follow (50% rupture by 10 years, 90% rupture by 15-20 years)
mammograms less reliable for detecting cancer, can rupture the implant.
Implant removal surgery is difficult, risky, can cause further breast deformity.
Saline implants associated with serious bacterial and fungal infections
