Question about Silicone Implants?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I just had ANOTHER friend tell me that she got her implants replaced

with silicone gel implants. You can imagine how horrified I was when

she told me this. She knew what I went thru but her doctor talked her

into the silicone ones becuase they felt more natural. My question is

how on earth are doctors able to do this? I thought silicone was not

FDA approved???? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated, I

had another girlfriend of mine from Cleveland do the same thing just

recently, apparently her body kept " rejecting " the saline ones so they

put in silicone. I just don't get it, and I am so worried for the both

of them, especially because they are my age and planning on having

children soon. it really upsets me! any comments would be greatly

appreciated. Jenna

Jenna,

That is so sad. It is possible for women to get silicone gel

implants through loopholes in the system. The FDA does not enforce

anything. It seems they either don't have the power to, or don't

care enough to. Any woman can get silicone gel implants, even

though they are not approved. All she needs to do is use a doctor

who will " confirm " that saline implants have not worked out for her,

and she needs to switch them to silicone gels for a better outcome.

They also make a bogus claim that they will be part of a study.

(which usually doesn't happen.) Women can get silicone gels for the

first time (not having had salines first) by also claiming that they

are willing to be part of a study, but then most of them are never

followed up.

These are the impressions I've gotten about the whole silicone gel

scam...and there are plenty of doctors out there willing to do what

they can to use gels even though they are not approved. These

doctors refuse to believe that implants can be harmful.

I also get quite upset at the idea that women will be having

children with silicone implants in place. It is so unfair for our

children to be born into the world with this strike against their

health. I can't believe a human race would do this to its own

children....it's very, very upsetting. I hate our government for

allowing it.

Jenna,

The ONLY thing I know that will stop these doctors is

to report them . . . To the medical association, to

the FDA . . . Zuckerman collects names of these

docs too!

You would think that they already would have put a

stop to it . . . but I guess blood money gets in the

way!

Just keep spreading the word . . . person by person! .

.. . If every person tells two people, a million people

have been told by the time the 21st person on the list

is reached. We can do it!

Hugs,

Rogene

I would like to know the answer to that too. I can understand your

fear for your friends. How can they be that stupid after seeing you

get sick? We have so many women here who have had sisters get

implants after they saw how sick their sister was. I don't know if

they don't actually believe you got sick from implants or just don't

think it will happen to them. I have 2 sisters with implants--they

got them before I did. Neither of them thinks I got sick from my

implants. I think they think I was just a hypochondriac. My one

sister seems fine except for rosacea on her face and premature gray

hair. My other sister doesn't have the symptoms I had but thinks

she is developing " fibromyalgia " . Oh well, there is nothing you can

do but be there for them when they get sick.

Patty, Rogene and Kathy, thanks for responding. Unbelievable is all

I can say! As for my 2 girlfriends, the one got the silicone before

she found out I was sick but the other girl knew how sick I was and

still got silicone. She actually was afraid to tell me, then her BF

did. I don't know, sometimes I wonder if they ever even believed me

when I told them how sick I got and that it was from the implants.

It is very sad, i just don't understand how they could even take a

chance when it comes to infecting a newborn child. Very sad. And the

government sux ass along with all of the PS's that are putting these

toxic bombs in so many women! :(

Jenna, it's me . I have silicone gel implants and had them put

in three years ago. They aren't safe, infact 90% of the problems I have

started when I switched from saline to silicone...I had a repair

surgery and implant exchange. The PS swore it was safe and that they

would soon be on the market I got them by qualifying to be in a " test "

group. Problem is it doesn't take much to qualify. Yes silicone does

feel much better then saline but they still feel fake, just a softer fa

ke.I wish to God I had never switched now, I didn't realize it was the

implants until a year and a half after they were put in and even then I

had doubts because the doctors said that it wasn't the implants.We put

way too much trust in doctors. Many women put too much worry into the

way we look, and if you have surgery to " fix " something you don't like

you may end up worse off. I pray your friend doesn't have the problems

that I am faced with now. I am not terribly sick but I think if I wait

too long I could be down that path. By the way I have set my explant

date with Dr Kolb on the 28th of March. Tahnk you for all the support.

Jenna, unfortunately there are some people who just don't get it,

and your friend seems to be one of them. Hopefully she won't pay

the price that many of us did, but if she does, you'll be the first

person she calls.

, congratulations on setting your date. Saline is

unfortunately not safe, either, that's what I had - and I've got

joint swelling, anxiety, swollen lymph nodes, etc. I think the

difference between saline and silicone is that silicone can migrate

throughout the body when it ruptures, but I think I've read that the

saline shell can migrate when the shell starts breaking down in

salines - so you may have eventually started having problems with

the salines as well.

upsetting. I am so happy that you scheduled your surgery. I think

is hard, trust me! Hang in there and stay strong, it will all be

over before you know it and you will be on the road to a full

recovery! i have a feeling about you girl! It will all work out, and

you are in good hands too. Lots of hugs to you too,

That's where I cry the most....when it comes to harming the kids,

these little babies coming into the world so helpless. If there is

anything at all that stops us dead in our tracks from implanting one

single woman more with implants, it should be because we care about

our precious future children.

May God help us! May some sanity become evident in Washington

somehow, someway, somewhere!

,

Thank you so much for sharing this important post. Women need to

hear that switching from saline to silicone is NOT SAFE. I fear

that is where this is headed.

I am very happy to hear that you are scheduled for explant with Dr.

Kolb. I pray that your health concerns resolve quickly for you and

that you get your health back in full measure. Keep us updated!

Hugs,

Patty
