Hi Lany & Ladies,

First of all, the Hip, Knee, & Heart Valve Implants, are well known among the medical & insurance underwriting community to have to be replaced within 10 -12 years -- period. That's as long as they safely last!

As far as why her implants have lasted 24 years with no problems, then why is is she now 'sagging', and having to have them replaced? Probably because they have leaked or ruptured, which she's not willing to have checked out, and/or admit. Other questions are; what kind of implants does she have, how were they put in, what have been her activities since having these implants, etc.? Did she get implants 24 years ago, then sit on a viranda drinking lemonade and mint-juleps all day; or has she been out bailing hay each day since she had them? Perhaps her genetics are somewhat compatible with all the 'junk' in the implants; or perhaps she's on of those women who's in denial about anything possibly being related to her implants? Who Knows? And, why would any of us want to waste our time dealing with someone like her"? Her head is already made up! Most problems CANNOT be fixed, so let her "do her thing"! We have at least 2 million women who know better, so perhaps this woman is just 'special"!

Blessings,

MM

I think she's lucky. Look, thing is I don't think any of us here are ignorant enough to think every woman is going to fall ill from implants. Fact is some do, folks should know this. It's just my humble opinion but I don't think implants have many benefits anyway. They're not worth the risk. It's my opinion that most implants look fake. I have only met TWO women who's implant look good. Recognition needs to be given to small breasts--that they are aesthetic! Larger or just plain saggy breast can benefit from mastopexy. To me, implants are a waste of money and not worth the health risk that SOME (albeit not the majority) suffer. Not everyone will get cancer from smoking either, does that mean cigarettes don't cause cancer? Of course not. Sorry, but the lady's argument does not hold water. It's fallacious.

I agree 300%! I was lucky enough to have barely 34c's that looked totally natural, and felt that way. For years, I forgot I even had implants --- they only benefited me by not having to wear hot padded bras, or being too concerned about necklines when buying clothes. The downside was they were a great contributor to the reasons(?) for my divorce from the father of my children.............etc.

Hi,

I think it is because of our own body systems. Some can have them

for years, others (like me) can't. Just like some can smoke for

years, and others can't even be around it. Two people can have the

same lifestyle, diet, and one will do better. I really beileve some

of us are more prone to certain disease/problems.

I read a report about T-Cells against silicone antigens in patients

with symptoms (neurological/skin)- with pace makers,silicone eye

bands, silicone/saline implants. The showed the different elevated

antibodies in each patient. I have that file if anyone wants it. I

wondered about the knee replacement too. Is it a different kind of

silicone?

One day they may have to say on the lable that implants can/HAS

caused problems in women, and not that 'the study' just shows they

are not 'proven' to cause a certain disease. (even though they may do

that too) There must be someone out there that knows the problems,

and they just don't want to admit it.
