Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Deb, There are several links on the net that show the chemical composition of implant shells. I'll look them up for you...here's one: http://www.breast-implants.org/ THE BREAST IMPLANT CHEMICAL POISON LIST: Below is the List of Chemicals which experts have analyzed to be in the explanted breast implant shell envelopes and gels. Methyl Ethyl Ketone Cyclohexane Isopropyl Alcohol Denatured Alcohol Acetone Urethane Lacquer thinner Ethyl Acetate Epoxy Resin Epoxy hardener Amine Printing ink Toluene Freon Silicone Lofol (formaldehyde) Flux Metal cleaning acid Eastman 910 glue (Cyanoacyryiates) Talcum Powder Color Pigments as release agents Oakite (a cleaning solvent) Ethylene Oxide (ETO) Carbob black Xylene Hexane Hexanone 2 Antioxidant (rubber) Zinc Oxide Naphtha (rubber solvent) Phenol Benzene-Known carcinogen!!!! ALSO..... Polyvinyl Chloride (Liquid Vinyl) This ingredient was used in all medical devices made at Lab, from tubing to gel. Methylene Chloride/Dichloromethane. This breaks down in the body so blood cannot carry oxygen. It metabolizes carbon monoxide poisoning and causes central nervous system depression. People working in the plants that manufacture these chemicals limit their exposure to them. It's unbelievable that as intelligent human beings we permit this type of internal chemical exposure ----- Original Message ----- From: Debbie B.

I didn't see anything in my initial implant report about an oil being used. What did your initial implant post op report say? Did it mention any oils used? So, does Dr. Feng think we are reacting to the oils as well or still mostly the silicone? That needs to be clarified. (to the ones who had oil used on them) Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
