Truth about Breast implants

To get a breast implant or surgical enhanced breast, you will have to go through a surgical procedure performed to enhance the size and shape of the breast, to give a larger, fuller, firmer breast, to enhance appearance or correct damage after mastectomy. Silicone gel filled breast implants are used to correct breast deformities.

Why you should stay away from surgical breast enhancement:

The shell of envelopes that holds the gel and silicone of the breast implant is said to contain a cocktail of toxic chemicals that includes the following Methyl Ethyl Ketone Cyclohexane Isopropyl Alcohol Denatured Alcohol Acetone Urethane Lacquer thinner Ethyl Acetate Epoxy Resin Epoxy hardener Amine Printing ink Toluene Freon Silicone Lofol (formaldehyde) Flux Metal cleaning acid Eastman 910 glue (Cyanoacyryiates) Talcum Powder Color Pigments as release agents Oakite (a cleaning solvent) Ethylene Oxide (ETO) Carbob black Xylene Hexane Hexanone 2 Antioxidant (rubber) Zinc Oxide Naphtha (rubber solvent) Phenol Benzene-(a Known carcinogen) Methylene Chloride/Dichloromethane. 

 

This breaks down in the body and it makes your blood not able to carry oxygen. It metabolizes carbon monoxide which poison and cause central nervous system depression. People working in the plants that manufacture these prosthetic devices limit the time that they are in contact with the materials for their own health. A German study of the scar tissue surrounding removed implants found that the tissue was commonly impregnated with chemicals from the implant, and has been shown to cause chronic inflammation.

All breast implants will break eventually, and studies show that silicone implants last between 7-12 years, however, some break during the first few months or years. In a study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) most women experience broken implant within 11 years. In 21 percent of these instances, the silicone had migrated outside of the gel capsule and leaked into the lymph nodes and other organs.

Over 30,000 women a year have their implants surgically removed. Women are told to have scans every 2 years to detect leakages (not covered by insurance). Many women will need to have their implants replaced every 10 years at their own expense. According to the FDA up to 9 percent of saline implants end up deflating within just three years. Complications became more and more common for each year that the implant is in the body.

 A study of Danish women who had breast implants for an average of 19 years found that they were more likely to report fatigue, memory loss and other cognitive symptoms compared to those women of a similar age without implants. Swelling from the surgery can extend into the abdominal area, bruising could lead to internal bleeding (hematoma), damaged done to the nerve pathway during surgery decrease the nibble sensational function but if you decide to stop and remove the implant you may be left with extra sagging skin that may not appeal to you, the breast could be deformed forever during breast implant and even if it doesn’t you must ensure that you renew it to prevent infection. So many complications and also consider how much it will cost you psychological, emotionally, health wise. 

Note: It is not wise to nurse a baby with breast implant.
