I wish that people were made more aware of the dangers of having breast augmentation. I had silicone implants put in as I needed reconstruction and one ruptured and it has made me very poorly. They were in for 13 years, and I kept saying I felt unwell, but the Drs said all was ok. Even ultrasounds and an MRI said that all was okay- but I insisted on a lymph node biopsy which showed silicone. i then had my implants removed at great cost. I now have chronic fatigue syndrome, heart problems, thyroid problems extreme weight gain, anxiety, depression. All this is thought to be from the rupture, although my Dr will not put this in writing! PLEASE don't be fooled thinking saline ones are safer- the shells are still made of silicone. If you need reconstruction look into having tissue from your buttock or tummy placed there instead. I wouldn't wish my ailments on anyone.
