Report Breast Implants
It is important that we report what breast implants have done to us to the FDA in the US at: Medwatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form and to Health Canada in Canada at: Health Product Complaint Process.
It is also very important that we report what breast implants have done to our children. The organization Birth Defect Research for Children Inc. is collecting data on disabilities that may be related to breast implants through an ongoing research project titled The National Birth Defect Registry. To declare go to http://www.birthdefects.org/. Please note the form does not have a specific category for breast implants, so Mothers are asked to enter information in the “Other Exposures Not Listed” at the end of the Maternal Exposure section.
If you would like to check for a recall of your breast implants please go here: FDA Medical Device Recalls

Hi everyone, I am from Peru and I always dream with a big breast and I have appointed a surgery for this week, but I was looking information on IG about breast implants (looking for then and after photos) and suddenly I found this page, I want to thank you all of you because I changed my mind and I wont do it, thank you for share your stories
I have had saline under muscle implant for 18 years had replaced with the gummy bear about 3 years ago, I am being tested for Parkinson’s, the left side of my body aches and I am unable to tap my thumb and finger together at the same speed as my other hand, in fact the left hand is a lot slower, Why I don’t think it is Parkinson’s is because I don’t shake or have tremors and I ache on the left side of my body. Has anyone else had similar symptoms,
Hi Linnea,
I don’t think you have Parkinson’s either and we are so happy you are on track for explanting those toxic bags of health wrecking chemicals and heavy metals so you can start healing.
Hi
I have the gummy bear too, Mentor. My left side is completely affected. Numbness on my left face, arms, legs. Today I’ve received the diagnostic white matter hyperintensities T2. I mean this is a diagnostic for people with advanced age. I want the implants out of my body
Yes, my left neck, shoulder and arm hurt. My left leg has hurt for months too. I’ve had X-rays and MRI’s with no answers.
Hi, I’m currently considering explanation surgery. My last augmentation/revision was in 2007. I have had implants for about 30 yrs total. When I look back at my s/s it started about 2 yrs after my first surgery with debilitating migraines. Long story short, I now have some autoimmune diseases, hair loss, painful joints, brain fog, no energy, etc. The list goes on and on. To be quite honest, it scares me to know I’m going to have a complete body change (I’m divorced) yet I know I want to feel better. I can’t continue this way anymore. Has anyone had any reconstruction and if so who would they recommend? I live in So Cal. Thanks.
Plz post once you have them removed!!!
I had mentor gel ruptured then got a new set ruptured again. Now have saline and I am worried. I have a lot of symptoms. Debbie Perkins
I have Mentor also and they ruptured twice in 2017, my right one is so inflamed. I did have breast cancer in right one. I’m getting them on in Houston Texas on February 8th. I can’t wait!!
If you find one please let me know also.
I am sorry. I am in same boat.
Thank you Nicole for all you do!
I’m hoping to find a doctor to take these implants out as well as the capsule! My implants are on the list of recalls allergan nutrelle
I’m hoping to find a doctor to take Medicare since I’m out my savings to get them and fix them 18,000!!!! Ugh
Hi Brandy,
Have you seen the list of explant surgeons here: https://www.healingbreastimplantillness.com/explant-surgeons/.
Does anyone know of Champ VA insurance covering any cost of explants?
Hi Jennifer. I just got off the phone with Champ VA and was told that they do cover the removal. You have to find a Dr. that will help fill out paperwork and it has to be stated that the implants are making you very sick. I’m looking at Dr. in Oklahoma. I’m praying this is correct.
Hey brandy, mine where also recalled about 4 years ago. I have developed RA over those last 4 years. I would love to know if Medicare will cover the surgery since it is a medical condition and I was completely ignored when I went to the hospital with my concerns about lumps and pain. Also no record of the letter I was sent or the MRI I had done when they where checked, no record i had even been to see the hospital responsible 🤔
