Kimp,

I got implants when I was 21 and had to have them removed when I was 28. I had a rupture that was infected and could not have them replaced right away. Before my BA, I was a small B and pretty saggy. When they were removed they were pretty much the same except they were more saggy. But other than that they were okay. You could also consider a lift if you are concerned about being saggy. Why do you hate your implants?

i have some rippling. also they are under the muscle and whenever i lift my arms or use those muscles the breast feel hard but other than that they are super soft. also i have been experiencing dry eyes, and kneww pain with fatigue that i think could be related. i am afraid of the scars though. i had them in the crease and they are still visable when i lift my arms otherwise they are covered but with no implants i was an a and an a will not cover the scar especially if i get a lift. i wish i just left my self alone. also i dont like how saline look without cloths on they just look like implants. and i am tooooo afraid of silicone and if these symptoms are related i definitly dont want to replace. i dod not want to be flat but i cant live like this tired all the time with burning dry eyes. any advice.

Hi..can I ask why you think your fatique and dry eyes are related? You could have them removed and that still won't cure the problem, unfortunately.

My mom had implants and had hers romoved due to capsular contraction. To be honest, she looks quite disfigured, maybe because some scar tissue is still there, not sure though. I have seen pics of ************ and the breasts never look just like they did before.

I believe it is related because i found many websites that connect any type of breat implant with autoimmune diseases, and dry eyes, fatigue, and joint pain are all symptoms of auto immune. i never had any of this until about 3 months after implants. Plus I am not a big fan of saline, thy dont look or feel as real. silicone is tempting but there is no way in heck i am replacing them. i want to feel healthy again but am so afraid to be flat and not even that how they will look. I am asumming your mom is not a happy camper with her situation. Arent you the lady who posted earlier an auto immune disease and silicone implants? if so what do you think? what are your sysmptoms. please respond
