Thank God for so many women out there that have created groups like on FB.
I got mine done and in literally just 7 months my whole body went under attack. The white part of my eyes started turning yellow like I had freaking jaundice! Woke up one morning with swollen lips and the worst was yet to come… Every single day after my body was flooding with Hives and they didn’t know what the hell was going on with me literally had the implants for 7 months and had to pay the same amount all over again to take them out. After a few weeks my body adjusted knowing that the implants were no longer there and everything stopped. These surgeons make more money doing explants then they do implants they’ll just never tell you that
My explant surgery is in 6 weeks! Wish me luck ! Getting implants was the worse mistake ever. Ladies do your research! I might do a video soon talking about my experience!
Hope everything goes well!! I never knew how bad they could be for you
Yess make a video !!! I am debating if I should even get implants
please tell us what happened? I have asymmetrical breast and either have put an implant in the smaller or reduce the size of the bigger. I don't know what to do
@@valwizzle do not get them, I went from being at the gym 4 days a week to not being able to walk longer than 30 minutes. I’m very sick, I’ve seen 6 doctors so far and nobody can tell me what’s going on.
Will you please post here how surgery & recovery is going
My liver was overwhelmed. Intestinal pains and issues, brain fog, muscle spasms, eyes yellow/grey, skin discoloration, these are all symptoms of an overwhelmed liver. I had an explant and it took over a year to feel better. I know it sounds gross, but I finally have normal bowel movements. I am so proud of my solid turds. I haven't had a solid turd in 15 years! Always loose stools, food intolerance, undigested foods and fats because my liver could not function properly as it was overwhelmed by detoxing the chemicals that leached from implants. And when your digestive system is under stress, you wont be able to absorb any nutrients.
Hello Sandra, what is the name/information of the doctor you had remove your implants? I have a friend who is going through this but is in a pickle because it’s far too expensive to remove them.
@@mikita431 my doctor is not cheap. He is the most expensive one in Grand Rapids, MI and won't remove them at a reduced price unless he is the one who put them in. Your friend needs to go back to their original surgeon and demand them out for free.
@@sarahm2878 what implants did you have? Silicone etc
Omg- same... I have what I call peanut butter poo.... it’s like the first baby turds dark, sticky and tarry... do you know what that’s like to wipe off! My husband got me a bidet for Christmas last year and it still doesn’t get the job done... I need like a pressure washer. A year after implants I developed food allergies to freaking everything. I literally eat fruit and veggies with some meat.... I can’t have gluten, Dairy, or wheat anymore which is like everything. My skin is pale with dark circles under my eyes and I bruise like an old person...
I don’t absorb vitamin D or B.. I get vitamin shots and take liquid vitamin D 10,000 a day and it’s still below normal....
My implants almost killed me. I had 11 years of different illnesses that no doctor could find answers to. I felt toxic, I looked old and felt old. My mouth and body odor was terrible. My hair fell out. I had vag bleed for 8 months then I had Premature menopause, low libido, heat intolerance, metalic taste, weight gain, dental cavities, severe dry mouth, joint pain, arm numbness, severe bloating and gas. Blurry vision, choking sensation during meals, chest pressure, leg swelling, constipation, severe insomnia, irritability, depression, elevated ANA and sed rate. I was left with memory problems to the point where I had to quit my job. I was left sick and broke. I finally found a doctor in Tijuana Mexico, short walk across the border of San Diego that took them out . Cost me a lot less that what was quoted to me by doctors here in the US. I am 1 week postop and I have been feeling so much better . I was told I will have to detox my system to get back to normal. I would encourage anyone with breast or buttock implant to get them out if you are feeling sick without any explanation from doctors .
Can I please have the doctors info. Also are you feeling better?
How do u feel now, I am in adrenal failure and 8 auto immune disease. I got implants because I was born with protruding asymmetry tubular breast deforestation. 2005 placed them now begging for help to remove them.
Hope you're feeling better now. I have the same symptoms but I got silicone chin implant. 4 months after surgery my hair fell out in hundreds. My eyebrows, eyelashes and body hair fell out. My nails became ridged and white and stopped growing. I had ringing in the ears, unexplained weight loss, muscle pains, weird looking white tongue, joint pains,night sweats and GI problems. I developed iron deficiency without anemia and eating meat and taking supplements didn't help. Now I'm getting iron infusion. Do anyone think a chin implant made of silicone can cause also this type of illness? I never ever suffer from any of these. Its been 2 years since my surgery.
@@E10l yes any kid of implant. Apparently it's due to the biofilm
Terese segura Thank you for replying. I talked to my plastic surgeon and he said my symptoms has nothing to do with my implant. I have iron deficiency and vitamin D deficiency. He said he can take the implant out but it will be a waste of money for me. I really don’t know what to do.I’ve read that these symptoms are similiar also to vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency so I really don’t know what to do 🥺😪
I'm not gonna get them anymore
Explanted 2 days ago after 25 yrs of saline implants. They came out clear, no leaks, but BII is real and past 2 mos were really awful. So far I feel little sore but no real pain.
Thank you for giving us a voice, I too suffer from this.
Thank you for sharing. I’m going through the same thing. I had textured saline implants implanted at the age of 19, 2 years ago I found out the implants were recalled because of bia-alcl- a (cancer of the immune system )I’m now 31 and started to feel the same symptoms of bii around the age 28 after having 2 children.. I blamed it on chasing the kids around just being tired and exhausted having small headaches , sometimes anxiety , joint pain (maybe I’m using my hands too much with household mom duties.) but no.. I’ve decided to make an appointment to have them exchanged , but then realized I’m just gonna have the same problem with a different implant down the road. I have an appointment April 6 to have them explanted completely.. I can’t wait to start feeling better and get my life back! Any implant made of plastic is poison and foreign to the body and it slowly kills ! Please be aware. Learn from our stories !!
Explanted two years ago!! Best decision ever!!!!
Dr. Chopra stated something that is rarely mentioned during the screenings. He mentioned that a woman shouldn't get implants if they have any history of autoimmune disease. I think the real issue is, those who have autoimmune disease create antibodies that begin attacking the foreign object (i.e. breast implants), which results in brain fog, fatigue, and a slew of other issues. Women who don't have autoimmune issues, do not appear to have those issues, even over the long term, but of course more research is needed.
I like your comment💚
There is even more research out now : ) Implants, not just devices for the breast, but implants/devices in general, increase histamine levels consistently.
Histamine is a compound released by cells in response to an injury. It is present in allergic and inflammatory reactions.
Inflammation actually becomes a permanent state in the body when there are devices and foreign agents present.
So, it is not simply an “autoimmune” issue. It is a normal biological response to a foreign agent in the body.
And the research is supporting this.
It may be far worse for those who already have highly active immune systems, because the system ramps up 10-fold, but the immune response is present in everyone.
Why? Because its not a dysfunction. Its how the immune system works. We are designed to fight foreign invaders. Period.
Oh my gosh that’s why I had swollen eyes!!! Thank you for this video 🙏
Thanks for spreading awareness!
Yes yes yes same here!! I am getting mine out as soon as possible 🙏
Just got mine out 6 days ago!
@@Louloupetals I hope you feel as I good now a few months out ....dont rush it takes time to heal properly! Xc
@@susanaustin_filmproducer thx. Saw my surgeon this morning for post op. She’s excited because she said it turned out way better than she expected! Total capsulectomy:). Just need these girls to fuff up some 😂
@@Louloupetals Such fantastic news 🙏 and haha yes they actually do settle & seem to change daily, it's the internal stitches settling..... if I need any help with fluffing I will be doing fat grafting in another 3 months. I am wrapt with much smaller size, it will just be to even, which is its main intent 🥰❤
@@susanaustin_filmproducer ❤️🙏
Just when she says she had cancer you cut her off? How rude just to say a thing that is obvious
Very rude I agree.
These people fight for air time. Their behavior is disgusting.
She is still sick because the capsules still remain. Dr. Feng is the world expert in Breast Implant Illness. Download her study....Understanding Breast Implant Illness.
Might have just been edited oddlt
*oddly
It’s a problem that’s for sure! Can’t wait to get them out
she is still so beautiful after all these years
How do u feel now, I am in adrenal failure and 8 auto immune disease. I got implants because I was born with protruding asymmetry tubular breast deforestation. 2005 placed them now begging for help to remove them.
Can anyone recommend a plastic surgeon accepting insurance for breast explant with fat transfer?
I paid a deposit of 1000$ to have my breast implants done GUESS WHAT? I cancelled I’m so blessed I’m going to help poor people with the money I was investing in getting cancer …
I'm not sure how they took part of her implants a little at a time. From what I now understand about BII, that doesn't sound safe at all. She probably still has the capsule from her previous implants. Once that's removed she should start experiencing improvements.
So when Dr. Funk says "...I think the take-home message is if after having implants for a short or long period of time you notice new or enduring symptoms like fatigue and depression and anxiety, and joint pain, rashes, etcetera, see a couple of specialists like an endocrine doctor and a rheumatologist to make sure the things we can test for are tested for, and when negative don't go to 38 more doctors like Angie..." what does that mean? To ignore your symptoms then??
Hi I have rheumatoid arthritis but my bloods tested negative. I never had implants. Had both hips replaced need to replace both my knees and my toes. Pain is brutal. Love your programme.
She means that if those tests come out negative, its probably your implants making you sick. Dont go to 38 doctors to find out whats problem but get an explant immediately instead.
I think what she means is that we just don't connect our symptoms to our breast implants. So the logical course of action is to get a second opinion. I think 38 was a bit of a stretch and maybe even a bit offensive. But I understood her point being, that we do end up going to a LOT of specialists in desperate need for answers and solutions. I know that was me as well. Instead, now that we know, it's probably the implants. Get them out and see if the symptoms go away.
@@mbstylo That's how I understood it too.
I was told that I would have no more silcone going into my body then what’s in my deodorant. This year I discovered that one of my implants had ruptured. I can’t even get in to see a doctor for 3 months and surgery is an additional 4-5 months post consult. At the same time I discovered I have MCTD- insanely RARE! And caused by being around Silicone and PVC pipe. It’s probably one of the worse autoimmune diseases you can have and it attacks your heart, lungs, and kidneys... Brain, joints, and intestines.... if I had known this was a risk I would have never done it. It started about 6 months post implant with pain in my hands and feet, lower back pain, brain fog, extreme fatigue like worse then pregnancy fatigue, asthma, peanut butter poo with food allergies, it’s like constipated diarrhea.... chronic dry eyes and blurry vision, headache, zaps in my feet and hands... My finger nails look like the nails of a 90 year old....
This explains my sister's issues...terrible
I’m explanting in a few months. I am so sick from bii
What implants do you have?
I think I have this. My eyes are extremely dry and red everyday. My eyes are in so much pain. My face constantly looks tired even though I get 8+ hours of sleep a night. I always feel tired. I have mood swings. Dry skin. Fatigue. Sometimes joint pain.. I’ve had my implants for 7 years.. I started getting these symptoms about a year or 2 ago. They’re not worth it.. learn to love your body.. you don’t see anyone in public and say “they need implants” so why would you tell yourself that?? I
That's my biggest issue, dry eyes
Exactly i feel like I'm dying I'm a nurse....I'm spinning with all kinds of problems and I'm 54 years old
I sincerely hope you find relief to any and all issues you are experiencing.
My wife is getting Implants in May. She has wanted them for years. I told her I would support her decision, but I don't think she should do it. It's a lot of money for something that will need replacement in 10-15 years. But there is no talking her out of it.
I am in no way saying breast implant illness is real or fake. These are just my observations and what I have noticed.
I have been watching a lot of videos of potential breast implant illness. I notice a lot of them have generally the same symptoms of depression, anxiety, rashes/itchy skin, constipation, joint pain, brain fog, memory issues, can't sleep, and a few other issues.
I also notice that most videos describe the symptoms as very gradual and slow to set in. Could breast implant illness really just be other health conditions related to normal aging? I will further explain below.
The average age of explant surgery is 43 years old. Most videos online are women in mid 30s to 40s when they notice symptoms of breast implant illness. Thyroid issues typically affect women between the ages of 25-60. All the symptoms of breast implant illness are also symptoms of a thyroid imbalance involving TSH, T3, and T4 levels. Thyroid issues show up as depression, anxiety, rash, constipation, brain fog, concentration problems, obscure aches/pains, hair loss, memory loss, lethargy, and weight changes.
Also women typically start experiencing hormone declines in 30s and 40s. Dropping levels of serotonin and estrogen can cause a lot of those symptoms.
When the body cannot destroy something it doesn't like, it can lead to autoimmune problems. However, that further makes me think about something else. There are thousands of people out there who have artificial hips, knees, hernia meshes, and other artificial objects in the body. You don't see cases of people experiencing odd medical issues after getting those devices implanted.
There is also something else to consider. When a person is experiencing something in their life that is negative. The brain oftentimes looks for the fastest and shortest way to correct the issue. I wonder how many people who have implants and have medical issues see these videos and think yes! That must be my issue.... The brain is a very powerful influencer. I have an example below.
I myself suffer from low testosterone. I had all sorts of slow onset of symptoms starting in my early 30s. I just assumed stress and getting a little older. I actually saw a commercial for low T. I made an appointment with a urologist. He informed me that he is overwhelmed with guys dead set that they are suffering from low testosterone because they match all of the symptoms. He said most of them had healthy levels that were not even near borderline. I however did have well below normal levels and I am on treatment for life.
We did have a discussion with her surgeon. She did point out that she has had more women than usual in the last two years claim they are suffering from implant illness. She said she tells them she will remove them if they really want her to. But she herself suffers from some of the same issues that she didn't have ten years ago even though she doesn't have Implants. She also says age, and other medical conditions can have the same symptoms as Implant illness. She has removed some Implants to later learn the patient still suffered the same symptoms. She also said some patients did get diagnosed and found symptom relief with hormone replacement therapy and thyroid medication.
I won't ramble on. I just wanted to post what I have learned noticed. Maybe I have given you some new information and maybe I can learn more from you.
My mother’s implant ruptured and moved out of place. RIP 2001: 61 years old.
Fake cancer diagnosis, corrupted software. I think they are harvesting memory glands for colostrum. Cancer is parasites & fungus in 1000 different locations and combinations.
I have breast implants and have had them for years with no problems whatsoever. I think the real problem lies mostly around the doctor performing the plastic surgery. This panel of doctors always seems to criticize any kind of procedure …yet you can obviously tell they have had I whole lot of work done themselves…. hypocrites!! I can’t stand this show.
No, I don't believe it has anything to do with the surgeon performing the plastic surgery. A number of women had their breast implant surgery performed by board certified top surgeons in Beverly Hills, but they still got breast implant illness. I believe the real issue is whether the woman has (or had) an autoimmune issue. Those who have an autoimmune issue should NOT get any form of implants, as mentioned by Dr. Chopra. If they get implants, their bodies are more likely to treat the implant like an invader and produce antibodies to destroy the implant. This is probably why they feel fatigue, brain fog, and get extreme headaches.
I have all the symptoms of breast implant illness. they all started 4 months after getting silicone chin implant. Does this implant can cause this type of illness also?
Yes. Many people are getting butt implants as well. Same toxic ingredients. As soon as I heard about it, I contacted a male friend of mine who I knew had butt implants and was very sick.
yes propionbacteriam and medical devices google it!
What are the odds that you will get sick if you get implants? Does everyone get sick or just some people? I feel like I have to have implants to feel whole....fat transfer isn't enough. Are we talking about 5% of transplant patients or 50% or 90%....does anyone know?
Meagan No idea, but my symptoms didn’t start until the 9 yr mark. The last 3 years (12 total w/implants) have been debilitating.
Emily Sith I don’t think it’s rare. I think the symptoms are so random & strange, most women don’t connect the dots. Why would implants cause chronic nausea? Joint pain? Early menopause? Heart pain? No idea, but most women have the same symptoms & don’t relate it to implants.
I’ve been watching a lot of these videos! And I can tell that a lot of women are going thru this. It can start as early as 6 months post op or as late as 10 years later. Every person is different but at some point you will experience this. It’s just not worth your health. (I have implants too)
@@dawnl6560 I agree. The rate at which the Breast Implant Illness and Recovery by Nicole FB page is growing, I believe it's actually quite common. I don't know how it's possible NOT to get sick knowing what's in them. For example, cobalt, led, mercury, formaldehyde, acetone, paint thinner, roach killer, etc. etc. etc. It's a toxic soup.
@@EvanyRo do u regret it?
I got cancer after mine were removed too!
Why?
Is it still possible for you to heal ?
Won't happen to me but 🤣🤣
Just don’t get implants.
Getting mine out in a few weeks
Sorry for your loss.
You will quickly find out you wasted a lot of money removing something that isn't hurting you.
Most of these women are all at the age when thyroid issues start and hormone levels decline.
You can find lots of women suffering all these symptoms who never had Implants. Thyroid hormones and/or hormone replacement therapy was the fix.
Most of these explant doctors also install Implants. It's a money making scheme.
@@michaelh5055 Do you have breast implants?
@@michaelh5055 Your comment is disgusting! Sorry for my loss!! I'm not. Like having smaller breasts is something bad? You go ahead and wear very painful and heavy sacks of water around your neck for a few weeks and see how sorry you feel when they come off. My worth is not my breasts! My health is much more important than my cup size!
@@meganseals2703 I swear, women can be such babies.... I am so unhappy with my boobs, let me get implants.
Omg, I have a headache and my arm hurts, it must be my Implants making me sick. Let me go online and tell the world about my journey to recovery.
In a year it will be videos of some nonsense emotional rant about your emotional journey to accept your scars and saggy boobs and body acceptance.
@@michaelh7527 Yes, woman are the big babies... You are the one on here complaining about something that doesn't even have anything to do with you. Not your body or your problem. Go be a troll somewhere else. Stop trying to tell woman about their bodies you creep.
Are any models not referred to as "supermodels" nowadays?! If Everhart is now referred to as a "supermodel", then it most definitely is now completely overused & 100% redundant!! She simply appeared in - not upon the cover of - the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated a couple of times & was in Playboy once, 19 years ago - so she's hardly a Gisele Bündchen & seeing as though a "supermodel" is supposed to be working in fashion modelling & Everhart wore next-to-nothing in her pictorials of note, she most definitely DOES NOT qualify.
Irrelevant to the topic of sincere concern.
Stop downplaying other people career.
@@MarolineChayee Have you been told lately, perchance?
I had all of these symptoms for a decade before my breast implant. So, how can I say that my implant is causing my illness? I’m sorry but you can’t truly say, it’s 💯 the implant causing the illness.
I have hashimotos disease and celiac disease before I got my implants and it was the biggest mistake they make your health deteriorate!! So yes they do cause problems. I've felt a drastic change in my health after getting them and bizarre symptoms I've never had before.
I wonder what's it's like to be a part of the audience for the Doctors I wonder if they are actually nice

You paid for all that surgery? You mad? If it wasn't in your body probably not meant to be there
