Since 1962, many millions of women have breast implants with either silicone gel or saline with silicone linings. Unfortunately, the silicone from breast implants can leak into the surrounding tissue and deposit itself into various tissues and organs. The silicone breaks down into the elements silocon and silica, which cause dysregulation of the immune system. We have put together a list of signs and symptoms of silicone immune toxicity syndrome below.
Also, we have information on diagnosis, helpful books and valuable resources for patients.
The Signs and Symptoms of Silicone Immune Toxicity Syndrome are as follows:
Multipe chemical sensitivities and sensitivities to perfume, smoke and other inhalants
Muscle inflammation
Joint pain
Fatigue
Weakness
Anxiety and depression
Hair loss
Memory loss
Foggy thinking
Night sweats
Tingling in the hands and feet
Heacaches
Abdominal pain
Chest pain
Other autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren’s syndrome, scleroderma, fibromayalgia, and multiple sclerosis
In silicone immune toxicity syndrome, the body produces antibodies against the complex that forms when silicon attaches to protein molecules in various organs, resulting in an autoimmune response.

Danger signs When You Should Walk Away - Mark Henley cosmetic surgeon
Any consultation should be exactly that – a consultation. Be very wary of any individual who is trying to ‘sell’ you an operation. This would not be the sort of behaviour to expect from a reputable surgeon.
The Healthcare Commission states that;
"The hospital or clinic should offer you an initial consultation with the doctor who will carry out the procedure"
Successful cosmetic surgery begins with a thorough assessment of your health, in addition to your motivation and goals of surgery. Beware if a doctor is willing to perform surgery without checking out your general health first.
Be wary of any establishment that appears in a rush to book you in for surgery, particularly if you are offered special pricing to commit to surgery straight away. Also, make sure you read the small print before signing anything.
