Dangers Of Breast Implants


Many women are getting breast implants or already have them.  Many of my friends have them.  I was thinking of getting them many years ago after having four children but I am so glad I didn't get them.  I have already have had too many health problems.

This article from Dr. Mercola's website is a very valuable read if you have implants or are thinking about getting them.  My dad is a pathologist.  He said that whenever he had to take a look at a breast implant under a microscope that had been taken out of a woman, it was covered in things that should not be in the human body.

The article said they need to be replaced every eight to ten years.  This is major surgery,  something that can't be good for us.  Now, I understand that some women have to get them after having breast cancer.  The article said there is a new procedure coming soon that will take fat from one part of your body and put it into your breasts which would be much healthier.

The basic problem I have with breast implants is that so many women, even very young women, feel they need to get them to feel attractive.  With pornography being so rampant and men being able to see large breasted women with a click of the mouse, it makes women who are small busted insecure.

I have always been fairly small, except when I was pregnant and nursing, and you know what, I have had an awesome life.  I never had problems getting boyfriends or a wonderful husband.  It doesn't affect our sex life in any way.

We must teach our daughters and young women in our lives that it is okay to be small.  Actually it is much more comfortable and as you age, large ones just hang down and start not looking so pretty.  Teach them to be content with the way God created them and confident who they are in Christ. 

Godly men will want a woman who loves Jesus and walks with Him.  They will want a wife who will be a great wife and mother and who takes care of herself.  So just do the best with what God blessed you with and leave the rest in His hands.

I will give thanks to You,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
Psalm 139:14

My mom had a breast implant due to a chest deformity she had as a child. It caused her a lot of health problems (which she dicsovered when doing research on her symptoms and breast implants). She had to have it removed and they found that it had ruptured and leaked silicone into her body. Before the implant, she was very uneven due to the deformity, but after the implant was removed, they also had to remove so much scar tissue from the silicone that she had almost nothing left. She now wears a prosthesis rather than having an implant. If only she had known the risks beforehand, but she was just a teen when she got the implant.
Oh, Lindsay, that is so sad for you mom. But, If I were in her place, I probably would have had the implant, too, for a deformity. Too bad it worked out this way for her. This was a very informative article. I agree with the author. Small is not bad.
Thank you for writing about this important topic Lori. Small breasts are not a beauty flaw. Also 25% of women have uneven breasts. This is normal! I wrote a blog post about this issue The Good thing About Having Small Breasts http://ayearinskirts.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/the... Hopefully it will help someone out there who worries about this.

Great article. Thank you for sharing it!
Oh wow! Ive never had a desire for larger breasts and actually had a breast reduction 3 years ago. They hurt my back and after having 4 babies, they grew and were so heavy they made my shoulders slump over. My back pain has subsided and I don't miss them at all! I couldn't run and then it it's hard to be modest and cover up the girls. I have tried to talk many of my friends out of having implants. Now I have more information to help. Thanks!
My husband has mentioned many times that if I wanted to get implants he would be more than happy to get them for me. Part of me wants to, but part of me is terrified at the idea of major surgery and foreign objects permanently implanted in my body......This is good food for thought.
Yes! Let's all just be thankful and happy with the beautiful bodies God gave us. He created us the way he did for a reason, let's trust HIM! I don't believe in altering the human body in ANY way for cosmetic or social purposes!
My doctor from http://www.edelsteincosmetic.com/, told me that if I will choose a breast augmentation procedure, I won't have any kind of problems, most likely. And honestly, it's exactly what I need, because I'm quite afraid of surgeries and I want to go smooth everything and be satisfied of the results.
I got implants 5 years ago after I finished nursing our 4th and last child. It was the best thing I have done! I nursed all 4 babies for 12-18 months and my skin was so stretched out my nipple folded over like an envelope! I was completely flat and felt like a man. My husband had NOTHING to do with my decision, he left it completely up to me. I don't see how it is any different than braces or pierced ears or makeup for that matter. I love how I look in clothes, I am very modest and my husband is so hot for me! I run 3 miles every morning and have never had any health problems. Each woman to her own, but for me it was definitely the right decision. And my bra size is 34B now. I meant it when I said I was flat!
Spiritmom.....you really need to do a lot more research.........implants are deadly and dangerous.........and if you breast fed your children they don't stand a chance of a healthy life if that poison leaked into their bodies from breast feeding which happens all of the time. I don't know if I can post a website here for you to go to......but here it is.....implantinformationnetwork.yuku.com. There you will find lots and lots of women who have been damaged by implants myself included. Implants do NOT have a long shelf life and do not last forever. 90% of them leak and then your problems will begin. Saline is just as bad if not worse than silicone.......the saline solution turns black and moldy in the human body and when they rupture that black mold goes right into your system andit is deadly.....my best friend died from her saline implants. You can live in denial all you want....but you would be wise to do a LOT more research......it is out there and available. Be smart and don't wait until it is too late to get those toxic bombs out of your body
Thanks for Sharing This Valuble Information and It is useful for me.We also Provides Brest augmentation Surgery.
There are things to worry about with the surgery but if you get a boost in self esteem and are much happier with yourself, I find that Breast augmentation is worth it. It's not necessary but it definitely helps!
Hi Lori,
My name is Reena and I work for a market research firm based in Chicago. I recently came across your blog and wanted to reach out to you to see if you would be interested in participating in a webcam interview where you would talk about your experiences with your augmentation.

If you were interested in learning more about our company to get a better insight on what it is that we do you can visit www.fieldwork.com. Or you can feel free to call me at our office to learn more about the interview, what it involves, and its purpose. There are no sales involved and you would be compensated $100 after completing the 60 minute interview.

Again, we are just trying to speak with women who would like to talk more about their experiences with their augmentation so if you know anyone who has had a breast augmentation and you think might be interested in participating feel free to pass along my information. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Thank you for your time and I look forward hearing back from you.

I've attached a pre-screen link for you to share with others if you'd like or for you to take and one of recruiters from our office would be in touch with you about the study.

If you are unhappy with the shape and contours of your breast, then you are not alone. Millions of women around the world are unhappy with their breasts either because they are too small or too big, or too distorted. thanks
Absolutely agree. It is a secret for me: Why do women, knowing all the risk factors, especially the most dangerous one - breast cancer, still choose breast implants?
Here's a super brief testimony of me having implants, got them in 2002, and got them removed 1.5 years later. I learned that having breast implants did not make me happier like I thought it would, it led me further and further into lies about body image and lust. And led me further away from God. Now, it's been years and I give all credit to the Lord for healing me so much and blessing me as I've learned the blessing of truly obeying Him. After I removed implants and started chasing after God with all my heart, I no longer even see breasts as "small" or "big". I see them as "perfect" if they were made by God. I have said this verse over and over and it is one of several verses that have healed me "You are so beautiful, my Beloved, so PERFECT, in every part." Song of Song 4:7. I learned it's only lies of the enemy that tempt us to consider plastic surgery. And one thing that has helped me too is knowing that men who are healed from lies of lust aren't tempted and even disgusted by things like seeing cleavage of women, etc.
One other thing, I'll try to make it quick. When I had my appointment to get breast implants, an hour before the cut off time of canceling my appointment and get my full refund of $1,000 deposit back, I was working as a customer service agent. The woman put me on hold, and I heard her start speaking to someone else, like she picked up another phone and all she said was "enough of the implants!, I said ENOUGH!". This seemed like a divine appointment of God trying to get my attention, yet I didn't cancel my appointment.
One of my friends who used to have implants (when she wasn't following God) surrendered her life to Christ again while driving, and within seconds she was in a car accident and one of her implants popped. Then, soon after that God convicted her to get the other one deflated (and not just to match the popped one) To help her experience wholeness and healing, and also because her obedience would help so many other people.
The TRUTH (God's Word) sets you all of us free. It did for me and I've seen it free men and women from these lies. Praise God!
I'm 23 and I can't even fit into size A bras. I'm as flat as can be. Finding a swimsuit is a struggle too. And dresses and shirts don't fit me well. I have friends that tell me that I shouldn't be concerned about it but they all have breasts bigger than me and can actually fill out a size A or size B bra. I can't. And trust me, there aren't many bras made with small breasts like mine in mind. No push-up bra works because there's nothing to push up. And I only wear bras so that the padding makes it so that I'm not completely flat. I don't want people thinking I'm a guy in disguise or anything. I just want to be at least a full size A or B like everyone else. I love God but I'm so sick and tired of people telling me to not worry about being completely flat, when I get married I want to look good in my wedding dress. And when I wear a swimsuit I want to fill it out a little bit! And I'm so tired of being limited on what bras I can and can't wear, nothing ever fits me. I just wish people would understand. Because unless you are flat as me (not even an A), you don't have a clue as to what I'm going through.
