Re: Kathleen: Dark brown implant

[Guest guest]

Hi Beth,

I don't have possession of my implant.I called yesterday to ask for it and I

was told no,that I should have discussed that with the doctor before hand.I just

didn't know to ask.He did show me pictures of my implants removed thats how I

noticed the color of the one that wasn't deflated.Do they always show you

pictures after?Because I didn't ask to see them.Also should I go to my regular

PC doctor and ask to be treated for mold exposure?

breast implants in 1992. I began getting ill not long after with being tired all

the time and muscle weekness.It wasn't til after the birth of my daughter in

2006 that I became very ill and was finally diagnosed with this autoimune

disease called scleraderma.After the birth of my son 6 months ago,about 3 months

in of breast feeding my left implant deflated.As I started to begin my search to

find plastic surgeons in my area I came across different site talking about the

possiblity that women could be getting ill due to breast implants.Needless to

say I am convinced for sure.I just had both my implants removed march 23rd

2011.I went for my follow up appointment just yesterday and my doctor came in

and showed me the pictures of my removed implants.The implant that was not

deflated was a very dark brown color.It was very disturbing to say the

least.When I asked him why it was that color he told me he didn't know.I left

out of there very bothered by that,and began my own search which lead me to

you.I am very upset that my breast could have been filled with mold or fungus

and I really need answers with what I can possibly do.I believe my next steps

are very important. Sincerly,Kathleen
