Re: breast implants to MORGAN

[Guest guest]

Hi !

The crazy thing is that breast implants have not been studied for a

long period of time. It's really crazy when they've been around for

30-35 years...we SHOULD have studies that date back that long! But

the truth is, we DON'T. But let's focus on a few things that we do

know.

The studies that are out now have studied women with implants for a

few months to a few years. It falls very short of long-term data

needed (as people get breast implants FOR LIFE...not for a few

months or years!). Also, these studies do NOT study systemic

complications (which are major illnesses, weird symptoms, and

diseases)...they only study " local " complications...which are

problems you would have around the breast implant area.

All breast implants, saline included, have a silicone shell or

encasement. A breast implant is a foreign object...and just as your

body rejects a splinter in your finger, so could your body reject an

implant.

Before you seriously consider getting breast implants, please read

the breast implant manufacturer's consent form. There are examples

of them on the Internet...maybe even on this site. Read

everything! And just think...they don't want to write negative

things, they do it BECAUSE people have actually experienced them and

they HAVE TO. And also read the FDA's 80 page handbook on breast

implants.

Remember, not everyone gets sick from implants....but it's a huge

risk you're taking, especially since NO ONE KNOWS (has research) on

what can happen to you! Also, many women do not get sick from

implants for 7-10 years...however, I've been noticing MANY women who

are getting sicker much quicker!

You have a life to live...you don't have time for illness. I wish

there were completely safe implants on the market...and then there

would be no need for this group. For now, we just have to try and

help the women that come to us for support.

Thank GOD that you found this group BEFORE getting breast implants.

I found this 2 years too late. I'm now 22 and disabled due to my

saline breast implants. I do everything I can to help women like

yourself...I think you are very blessed to have a second chance at

choosing life. I would do anything to be pain-free, disease free

again.

Best wishes!
