Breast Implant Illness Experts
Dr Pierre Blais
Dr Pierre Blais is the world’s foremost expert on breast implants as failed medical devices and has written several articles in regard to the failure of breast implants based on his analysis and findings during examining thousands of implants. Unfortunately Dr. Blais is no longer accepting specimens or inquiries due to retirement.
Dr Diana Zuckerman
Dr. Diana Zuckerman founded the National Center for Health Research specializing in women’s health issues, and has been speaking out about breast implants for close to 30 years. In 1990, she was an investigator for the U.S. House of Representatives who was responsible for the first Congressional hearing and report on breast implants, which pointed out that the FDA had allowed breast implants to be sold without ever requiring studies of women. This raised questions about leaking implants, the possible link to cancer, and many of the health risks that have been coined breast implant illness by this website. From 1990 through today, she has analyzed the dubious “check book” science that was published and widely quoted to falsely assure women that breast implants were “proven safe.” Dr. Zuckerman regularly speaks at FDA meetings regarding health problems from breast implants and other implants, and is currently assisting women to get explant surgery covered by health insurance in the U.S. Please browse her breast implant website containing valuable insurance and other information for U.S. women.

Hi, have you heard of or come across any research or studies that have shown abnormal cardiac values (extremely elevated HDL, elevated Cardiac C reactive Protein, elevated Fibrinogen Antigen, elevated apo-lipoprotein A1) associated with Silicone Breast Implants?
Hi Amy,
Come to the group and use the search feature and search the posts about those specific test values and you will find women reporting them.
I coded 6 times exactly a year after my gel implants were out in. Spent a week in the hospital and they couldn’t figure out why! I’m currently seeing a cardiologist who’s sending me to an EP cardiologist thinking I need a pacemaker because my heart goes from the 30’s to 160’s. No blockages, no enlarged heart. I have chest pain and shortness of breath thinking I’m having a heart attack but I’m not. I just recently heard of the recalled implants so I started researching. I don’t have that brand but I have nearly ever single symptom shown! My neurologist wants me to do a 5 hour memory test cuz I can’t remember things. I am bipolar manic depressive but I’ve tried to kill myself a few times in the last year! My anger and rage is worse than ever! I’m in tears now because I’m 105 pounds and had implants put in after weight loss surgery. So now I’m worried!
Hi Lisa,
All breast implants cause symptoms just like you describe and listed here: https://healingbreastimplantillness.com/breast-implant-illness-symptoms/. Please consider explanting!
