25 Reasons Not to Get Breast Implants | Dr. Nalini Chilkov

Last week the FDA reported that breast implants put women's lives in danger. The big news last week was that a small number of women can get a very rare type of cancer (ALCL: anaplastic large cell lymphoma). It confirmed that death is a possible side effect of breast implants.

But what no one is talking about are all the other more frequent, more common and very real dangers and problems that go along with breast implants. Does the FDA really believe that if we don't kill too many women it's acceptable to disfigure them and compromise women's health in other less lethal ways?

According to Diana Zuckerman, Ph.D., Elizabeth Nagelin-Anderson, M.A.

and Elizabeth Santoro, R.N., M.P.H.:

Take a look at the list below and decide if you would let someone you love take these risks with their health ... just to have a bigger boobs ... What price are women willing to pay? Why are women so unhappy with their breasts? Do we really think we will be loved more if we have a bigger bra size? Maybe men could let us know how lovely small breasts really are.

Wear Something YELLOW & Post your PIPCrime Specs selfie on the social network 16-18 March 2015 in solidarity and support of over 500,000 women and their families worldwide affected by fraudulent PIP breast implants.
On the 16-18 March 2010, the French health regulator conducted the first scrupulous audit at the PIP factory.  The order to close the plant came as a result. Five years later, women with non-compliant PIP implant are still struggling to access healthcare & have this toxic mess removed from their bodies.  The fight for justice for women continues!


Peer-reviewed case reports and studies show that toxic chemicals in the shells and fillers of PIP Implants seep out into surrounding body tissue, migrate into body organs, can cross the placenta and can be found in breast milk. These toxic chemicals make women very sick and many report debilitating symptoms. Women everywhere with TOXIC PIP implants are suffering, they are being poisoned, they are frightened, they are extremely anxious and in pain.Read more

More advice to do your research...

Many women with PIP did their research... how were we supposed to detect a criminal fraud, cowboy clinics and greedy surgeons?

For women planning to have their PIP replaced. 

1. Please make sure you check the UK registers for a properly qualified surgeon. 
2. You should speak to the surgeon performing your surgery at a consultation.
3. Research the common complications associated with breast implants
4. Check the after-care arrangements
5. Check corrective surgery costs
6. Get full details (or a brochure) for the implants you choose. This brochure will form part of the contract you make with the clinic)
7. Check the clinic has a valid CQC Registration
8. Check the clinic is insured
9. Consider paying with a credit card (for consumer protection rights)

Ask yourself if you can afford the ongoing costs and maintenance of breast implants. No implants last a lifetime. Implants can rupture at any time.
Many women with implants experience difficulties breast feeding. Please give this special consideration if you are planning to become pregnant with implants.
“Your body is the most important thing that you have, doing research and finding out as much info as you can… is extremely important,” Lourentzatos said. “The trauma, depression and sadness going through with this whole experience, I wouldn’t even want my own worst enemy to going through it.”
