I have not. It is sad to read that the chemicals in the implants include a carcinogen and a neurotoxin. I hope that you get responses and the care you need. 

Was curious about the guidelines-

What do the new FDA breast implant guidelines include?

The FDA is now requiring that the following guidelines be included in all breast implant labeling, which all surgeons are expected to review with their patients:

• A boxed warning. All breast implant packaging must feature a boxed warning alerting patients to any potentially significant health risks
• List of materials used in implants. For the first time, the FDA is requiring manufacturers to disclose the specific materials used in breast implants. Patients and surgeons will have access to this information.
• 
  
  Again, I am sorry that you are dealing with this. I hope that you are getting the best care possible.
  

Thank you! It's shocking to find out what "silicone" really is!

I wish I knew how to get the help I need! Does anyone have any suggestions? I've exhausted every avenue I have thought could possibly help, for over a decade....

At least I learned that the implants were making me sick! Or I have no doubt that they would have taken my life, as they have hundreds of thousands of people, probably much more!!! I definitely wish I would have explanted years before I did! I know some women who choose to keep their implants even though they, at least subconsciously, know, they are making them sick! I will agree, it's hard to believe your Dr would put these lethal bags on top of your vital organs without even knowing exactly what's in them! Drs should be more knowledgeable, no doubt!!! And make sure they have properly informed their patients! From what I understand, the Dr now sees the boxed warning. I hope they are sharing this information with their patients! It's a multi million if not a billion dollar industry. And to my understanding most do not want to freely give out this damning information to their unsuspecting patients...$$$$$ SMDH!

Also, its extremely important to have your implants removed correctly!! The preferred method is by doing an "enbloc capsulectomy" The capsules are the scar tissue that your body makes trying to protect you from the foreign object. These capsules must also be removed. They harbor much of the bacteria and possibly cancerous material as well. It's a much more delicate and definitely a lifesaving method of removal! Unfortunately, many Drs do not have this extremely important training and will simply make a small incision and pop the implants out, leaving the capsules behind! These people will have to have a second surgery preformed by a Dr that understands the importance and has acquired the skills nessessary to remove them safely. Most patients who still have their capsules left in will not improve after their surgery. Then there's those of us that "silicone" has already escaped from the capsules, possibly by gel bleed.

Hopefully I have given people who need this information and understanding some of the damage these toxic bags can cause. And how important it is to have them removed properly! And someone who reads this can potentially have answers to help those of us with silicone toxicity get better!!! TIA♡
