disgusted...my story

I never grew a left breast. At 21, I became eligible for surgery. It was the answer to a nightmare of locker rooms and bathing suits, boyfriends and body image, no more white, spongy "falsie". My insurance covered the procedure as a congenital defect. I am now 51 and have a 30 yr old ruptured implant. I am also part of the class action against Dow. My implant was a prototype silicone with polyurethane shell. It has been ruptured for 10 years.
I have nodules and scar tissue and...

Hello, I just got my implants removed two days ago. I had them put in a month ago, 339cc and they were way to big!! I was wearing a 32D, being 4''10 and 95 pounds it just looked awful not to mention they were very uncomfortable. I am very happy that there gone :) My only concern is that they are not as perky as they were before :( Will it get better over time?? Another question for those who have had there implants removed, did any of you elect to get laser treatments for the...

Dr. Kolb

I FINALLY made the call to Dr. Kolb's office and am getting my implants out in December. What does anyone know about her? I 1st read about her on this website. I went to a couple of local Doctors and 1) I didnt believe they believed I was sick because of my implants 2) If they are implanting other women with silicone implants then they didnt know just how toxic they are, or just didnt care. 3) I had to trust the person doing my surgery to get out ALL of the silicone. I dont want any left...

Hi ladies,

It may be a little soon to post my story since I was just explanted 5 days ago but I am so excited I just had to share incase someone out there is facing this decision.

I had my implants for 22 years (silicone) and had no idea they wouldnt last forever or that they could make you sick. I have been very blessed in that I am not sick, but I can attest to the fact that they do not last forever. I was doing some strenuous upper body workouts and one day a lump...

feeds@yuku.com (AngieKaye1) — Fri, 02 May 2008 21:42:47 GMT

I am new here and I am thankful for this website. I am 31, married and have 2 small children. I got my silicone implants put in in 2000. I knew they were not fda approved but I went to I think 1 of only 3 Dr.s who could do them at the time. He did document my entire surgery very well but there was no follow up if I was indeed a part of a study. I have been sick every since I had them put in. I never had a headache before these implants, I never had a cold or got the flu. I was very healthy....

Rosie, Roseanne, Molly and anyone else that remembers me,

I used to be a frequent visitor of the wonderful website. IT helped me through some rough times. My story is somewhere in the archives about having 24 year old leaking silicone implants removed back in the summer of 2005.
I unfortunately had a sudden onset of all over perpheral neuropathy related to the implants and an unknown cyst in my arachnoid space (by the spinal cord) that had gone undiagnosed, probably not related...

Sunday February 17 2008

'MORE than a handful is a waste," that's what a self-professed 'tit man' told me recently. He really did.

If you've never had a candid conversation with a 'tit man', you're missing out. When it comes to the fleshy mounds of tissue, these guys are the self-confessed experts.

Jamie's story

feeds@yuku.com (jamierhae) — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 10:28:31 GMT

It all started in 1997 (at the age of 20) when I decided to get implants. Shortly after the surgery, I remember feeling tired all the time. I just thought I was doing too much (working nights, going to school during the day). I also began noticing my fingers and toes were cold and turning white at the tips. This would happen if I was cold or nervous. In 2001, I had my 1st child. After she was born, I began to notice I was saying the wrong words, couldn't concentrate, and the finger and...
