Capitalism over Confidence.
So I am writing this piece in hopes that I can spread light on the issue with implant manufacturers that much of the medical community disregards.
Breast implants are one of the leading surgical procedures but no matter how many advertisements or doctors that say they are “safe”, they ARE NOT…
Breast augmentation is not as seamless as the common public thinks.
It is a completely barbaric procedure.
If you are considering going forward with this cosmetic “enhancement”, please…. Don’t.
If you have breast implants, you should seriously consider getting them removed.
Drastic, I know. But this, unlike your tits… is real.
Because this was an elective surgery, legally I must take complete responsibility for what I have gone through. And I do. But I also elect to advocate against it because I am lucky to have found truth through other girl’s personal stories. Not through the medical community. The only thing I can hope for is to push real life messages to prevent hundreds of thousands of girls from falling victim to false advertisements in the medical field in the next generation.
Despite its wide use in many medical devices (silicone implants of ALL kinds, silicone encased pacemakers, mirena iud etc.,) silicone is toxic. It may be a slow poisoning for some but it is a chronic aggressor of the body’s natural immune system nonetheless. There is a reason why France is once again considering banning implants all together or why Venezuela, being a leading cosmetic country, is making liquid silicone biopolymer injections highly illegal 1. The presence of heavy metals in the production of silicone are beyond astounding:
Instead of being told that silicone is an inert substance that does not react with body tissue, I wish I had been told the truth which is silicone is made up of heavy metals and over 40 known toxic chemicals. Plastic surgeons don’t talk about the ingredients in silicone and that silicone will react with your body because nobody would buy implants if they knew the truth. Here are some of the over 40 known toxic chemicals in silicone:
Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Cyclobexanone, Isopropyl Alcohol, Denatured Alcohol, Acetone, Urethane, Poly Vinyl Chloride, Lacquer Thinner, Ethyl Acetate, Epoxy Resin, Epoxy Hardener, Amine, Printing Ink, Toluene, Freon, Silica, Flux, Solder, Chlorplantinic Acid, Metal Cleaning Acid, Formaldehyde, Talcum Powder, Chlorplatinic Acid, Metal Cleaning Acid, Formaldehyde, Talcum Powder, Color Pigment Printers Ink, Oakite, Cyanoacyrylates, Ethylene Oxide, Carob Black, Xylene, Hexone, Benzene, Hexanone, Thixon-OSN-2, Rubber, Acid Stearic, Zinc Oxide, Naptha, Phenol, Methylene Chloride, Platinum Salts, Platinum, Tin and other heavy metals 5
If you wiki each of these above chemicals you will see that they are defined as as cytotoxic, neurotoxic, carcinogenic and harsh irritants to live tissues causing inflammation. Can you believe that chemical companies making breast implants from these toxic chemicals could ever believe they should be implanted in humans and that plastic surgeons are promoting these toxic bags as safe?
The manufactures of breast implants do not disclose what is in the implants and the chemicals vary from batch to batch even for the same brand of implants. The manufacturers and plastic surgeons also don’t tell you that implants sweat and bleed microscopically from the first day of implantation and that this process increases over time as the implant shells degrade in your body. Most implant shells are very degraded and substantially leaking toxic silicone by six to eight years and many rupture even earlier. Cohesive gel rupture too, we have seen many photos of cohesive gel breast implants ruptured within a few years.
For months now, I have watched a facebook support group that started just last year grow exponentially. Women from all backgrounds are flooding in by the thousands, sharing their stories. I probably have seen more boobs than the average porn addict that is for sure. And each one of these member’s cases are all showing the same symptoms relating to silicone toxicity. Because breast implants affect most body systems, symptoms are widespread and can be related to toxicity, immune dysfunction/failure, autoimmune diseases, neurological symptoms, endocrine symptoms and metabolic symptoms.2 Symptoms can be found under: www.healingbreastimplantillness.com. Collectively - this has been termed BII, breast implant illness, which is an umbrella term for the long list of issues arising due to the presence of implants in the human body. Silicone is not like surgical steel in that it can be a wonderful host for mold growth. Which is a very common incident I’ve seen in the women who’ve explanted. Lyme disease is becoming increasingly prevalent in girls with implants as well. Fibromyalgia and lupus are becoming increasingly linked with implants. Yet still this is not taken seriously in the medical community…The majority of doctors are textbook kind of people, and this issue hasn’t made it to the textbooks, yet.
Again, implants are just not safe. “But what about saline kind?” many people ask….The answer is; silicone shells cover all types of implants. Despite how common this surgery is, in the grand scheme of things - it really is just not understood. The first breast implantation was performed just 54 years ago on a woman that is still alive. Which really translates to the fact that long term problems are just now widely surfacing. Including such cases of mold growth, autoimmune diseases, and BIA-ALCL lymphoma to say the least …Therefore almost all of us have just been guinea pigs in these surgical endeavors.
But after buying a little knowledge from the great American college system, in the scientific world I can for certain tell you: Research can only be performed with grant money. How do you get grant money? If you can persuade those giving the money that the investment is well worth the returning funds and that more than likely they can get their money back tenfold … In other words, it’s somewhat like a credit card corporation - and the interest is your life’s work. We live in a business driven society. Very rarely, is research done just “for the good of mankind.” There is no such thing as unconditional love… There is always a condition..
Even after a vulnerable time of mastectomies, breast implants have become a routine procedure. Mainly because society has already provided this image for our imaginations of what the feminine body should look like. Which is why, it may come as no surprise that breast augmentation has been the #1 cosmetic procedure for over a decade. But, you may not have realized exactly how popular the procedure has become. The growth rate has remained virtually recession proof over the past 20 years. 3
So there you have it… implants are a HUGE HUGE money making business.
Implants are an expensive long term commitment too. Well I mean not really, they’re actually relatively cheap for the initial surgery if you actually hustle and save. It’s the upkeep and additional “maintenance” surgeries that they fail to emphasize that becomes so expensive. Which is why many surgeons look at their patients more like returning customers. And how does business 101 go? Telling the buyer what they want to hear so they can land the deal. And I was most certainly told that mine would last my whole life with no need to worry. They don’t and two years later I had to undergo a second. Apparently, implants are meant to “last” 7 years6 - so that means, if I was implanted at 20 and plan to live a long healthy life of 100 years… I would have to undergo 11 more surgeries for “replacements.” But I am now down two and it’s only been 5.5 years.
Girls (and guys) are being sold an idea, not a reality. The idea is perfection. But the reality, is there is capitalism over confidence, or the lack thereof rather. It really is a genius money making plot. And supply must meet demand. But it’s interesting as to what has driven the demand behind this elective surgery? Perhaps that whole topic is meant for another article…
This is a documented case I came across a beautiful girl suffering with horrible symptoms of rupture effects like pain and multiple miscarriages for 4 years without knowing; posted here is an extremely disturbing/invasive surgery of silicone being sucked out of her chest cavity resulting in muscle loss:

Unfortunately, like with many other social injustices, this knowledge will not make mainstream because it will undermine a multi-billion dollar industry.. Which is why it is crucial for girls going through this to speak up against this. Many women do not even know that their health ailments can be attributed toward her implants or if they have even ruptured for that matter…
I didn’t know this and wouldn’t be going through explanting if it weren’t for social media leading me to the real life, relatable situations versus my many doctor appointments.
Many of you that know me, know that when I was 20, I went forward in surgically enhancing myself with breast implants, the #1 performed surgery “on the market.” With it being such a socially acceptable procedure, I, along with friends and family, thought it a surgery of no consequence. I mean, with a surgery being #1 for well over a decade, one could assume the medical community had it down. That is not the only reason affirming my decision to go forward, I spent countless hours researching through forums, medical documents, speaking with many girls I knew and consulted with 4 surgeons. I was well versed enough that the doctors said I could perform this myself. I know many of you are just going to think, damn girl, you’re stupid for getting them in the first place… trust me. I wake up and every day before I get dressed feel that thought to the very bone. But by no means, would I consider myself an ‘idiot,’ instead maybe perhaps ‘blinded…’ [Along with over 300,000 women just that year alone.] Reflecting back on pre surgery photos I realize I looked absolutely fine. It’s funny that not once, was I ever told by the 4 separate surgeons that I looked normal, or that I didn’t need a breast augmentation. But this is not their responsibility. They have to eat too, ya know?
‘Doctors are no gods, they are just body mechanics.’
And to be completely honest, I trust my car mechanic with my life moreso over any doctor.
Anyways, after implanting, it took me less than a year before I realized something was wrong. I just want to say, my scarring has occurred not because of the incompetence of the surgeon, but rather the fact that apparently my skin complexion and genetics just naturally scar poorly. Even going to one of the best surgeons, doesn’t make any difference. But as I was developing separate internal complications, I was convinced by the doctors that I needed a revision and therefore underwent a second operation. This did nothing to help. I noticed my joints beginning to throb throughout my body, my knees and have joints have gone to shit, my hands and feet are beginning to lose dexterity and always cold. Sharp chronic pains started occurring inside my chest. I began to have unexplained, debilitating migraines. I began to become dehydrated with fatigue. My hair started coming out in handfuls. I began to develop serious brain fog, uninterested, and a feeling of always “out of it.” I could go on with my symptoms but honestly, I didn’t know if these were related to my implants. I didn’t know what was going on but I just knew my body and I knew things were not right even after a revision. I had gone back multiple times after to try and figure out what was wrong with little luck. I was at the point where I just wanted them out, and this was 3 years ago. Again I was told that I hadn’t given myself enough time to heal and just wait but if interested I should try a third surgical revision with a newer, “more improved” implant on the market. It was explained that I would not be happy with myself if I just got them removed because I would look even more disfigured. Distraught, I decided to just live with the current situation, thinking perhaps the pain would subside. I attempted laser scar therapy to feel less mutilated… My scars never disappeared, and the pain still remained. Time went on and I put this issue on the backburner. But I knew deep down I needed to address this because my personal symptoms have exacerbated along with the pain. So here we are 5 ½ years later, seriously addressing it. It wasn’t until after my mom had a breast cancer scare that really kicked me in the ass to get back into trying to determine what was really wrong. Lo and behold, the symptoms I began to research were SYNONYMOUS to the thousands of women searching for the same answers to similar questions at that time. But not once has any medical “professional” tried to explain silicone toxicity and that maybe I should get my implants removed. Which is why I am so thankful for the girls who took it upon themselves to provide a little scientific truth behind the “toxic aquariums” inside of me in just recent years. I’m also thankful though for public figures coming forward on this issue and sharing their personal stories. And without social media, a lot of this information would not be out there.
Maybe it’s because we are now in the Aquarian age, who knows…
The Aquarian Age will be dominated by networks, and information. The key phrase for this age is “Be to be.” The key to the astrological sign Aquarius is “I know.” This is the age of information. Nothing is secret anymore. All information is available at your fingertips. Where the Piscean age was organized in a vertical, up and down structure of hierarchies, the Aquarian Age is organized in a horizontal network, opening the world up to true equality. 4
Okay sorry for veering left for a moment…
To be completely honest, there is only ONE reason why women get implants in the first place. And that is for confidence.
I stand here now more confident in myself than I have felt in all my life, but this NEVER came from my implants. The surgeries held me back more than helped. I was offered an opportunity to be initiated and learn the art of Reiki training at no cost by one of my close mentors. But due to needing corrective surgery at that time, I unfortunately could not go forward mentally, nor physically. Which in retrospect was for the best, because my energies were so out of whack that there would have been no way I could work with anyone else’s. Any rigorous involvement in activity dealing with upper body strength basically has been tossed out the window. Even sleeping is painful because I will wake up sore, every morning.
Prior to surgery I was doing great in my academics, had wonderful friends and family, lived in a charming city with beauty everywhere. I especially had no physical health ailments. All the ingredients for a girl to be enthusiastic with this life. But despite surface levels, I actually was suffering, internally. I was extremely disconnected. Depression became a friend I knew too well for many years. Over analyzing and pinpointing why I psychologically was so vulnerable to make this decision was something I mulled over for years. What I boiled it down to: lack of self love. Which is probably why after getting the procedure I still felt increasingly empty inside. No matter how beautiful or how wonderful life is around you, it’s so very important to take the time to meditate in self reflection, to learn and embrace yourself. But after determining my internal issues and addressing this head on, my personal journey of self acceptance and happiness has grown tremendously within from non-surgical measures. And I came to this realization unfortunately a little too late. But despite trying to heal by eating clean & getting into hours upon hours of yoga, meditations, and rewiring my brain toward positivity, I was still being attacked physically from the inside. I couldn’t understand why feeling healthy was always an uphill battle. But now it’s obvious that getting a falsely advertised “safe” operation on top of depression is just not a good idea at all.
I’ll forever bear the markings of this procedure. However I am completely fine with accepting this, because it will be a constant reminder to never fall away from my internal voice and stick with the things that make me feel alive. I’d rather be truly healthy throughout than just ‘look ok’ on the surface.
Again, I am not putting blame on anyone but myself for my past decisions but rather saying, it is okay to forgive yourself. If you are struggling to find certain answers, my advice to you; give yourself time, simplify, and instead look within. Ever wonder why we make ridiculous choices in our teens and early twenties? One reason is our brains aren’t fully developed until our prefrontal cortex is fully formed: this allows us to help assess risk, think ahead, evaluate ourselves, set goals, and regulate our emotions. This on average happens around the age 25. Which is why I find it quite fitting that for my 26th birthday, I am buying myself my health back <3
Be patient & kind to yourselves!
I’ve been long overdue to detox not only from the implants, but also the emotions that will go with this surgery in less than 7 hours. My last two operations took an extremely heavy toll on my mental and physical self so I’m extremely nervous. I do not know if I have a rupture, I do not know how much gel bleed has occurred. But I do know tomorrow I will be free from these toxic bags inside me. The pros shadow my fears by far.
