“You want a story about a breast implant gone wrong?” I have a story for you, I had that having a double mastectomy due to breast cancer, and decided to get reconstructive surgery. My doctor told me that my insurance does not pay for reconstruction unless they use silicone implants, which turned out to be a lie because I could have had them reconstructed using my own abdominal muscle. The advice of my doctors, I have decided to put silicone implants under my chest muscle. The reconstruction is not four times. Every time we have caused pain, and eventually was leaked silicone into my body. After the fourth time, the doctor finally suggested the reconstruction of my breasts with my abdominal muscles, but at that moment my chest muscles are so deteriorated that does not support any further attempts at reconstruction. It gets worse. Not only did I have no breasts, but I have small but visible pieces of silicon in various places throughout my body as my neck and armpits and I have to have surgery to remove them. It gives them headaches, migraine, have had several strokes and chronic fatigue syndrome. “

Breast Implant Revision

Author: pooch

Breast implant revision is a surgical procedure designed to replace older silicone implants with new implants filled with saline solution (or in some patients, with the latest silicone-filled implants).

Women have been taking advantage of surgery for breast implants since the 1960s, and many are still opting for the procedure. However, some women experience problems with their silicone gel implants in the 1990s, leading to questions about the safety of these implants. The life of the average of silicone gel implants is about ten years. Therefore, women who had silicone gel implant surgery several years ago may want to consider having them replaced with saline-filled implants. Some doctors recommend they are replaced before there are signs of a problem. Other doctors suggest leaving them alone. In recent years, serious questions have been raised about the relationship between silicone leakage and chronic illnesses ranging from mild fatigue to lupus. While there is no medical evidence to support these claims, there is still much controversy surrounding the silicone gel implants.

Recently, the FDA ruled that saline-filled implants (from Allergan and Mentor Corporation) were safe for use in breast augmentation surgery. Unlike liquid silicone, saline is a salt water solution that can be absorbed by the body without side effects. Therefore, if one of these implants breaks, leaks of liquid does not present the same kinds of risks.
