Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I have had these implants for ten years and the right one ruptured 10 years exactly to the date of implant. I did not have any problems for ten years. (So I thought). Then, 4 days ago my left implant ruptured, one day before my consultation with my new surgeon. Now I have pain in my left breast and am worried about possible infection. I am going to have a full blood screening tomorrow. I was told by my surgeon that it is very rare for both implants to have burst. This tells me that the product that I put into my body is defective. Now I will need to pay for expensive surgery to have these possibly toxic implants inside of me removed. My doctor DID NOT explain any of this to me, and after researching on my own, I sadly realize that the implants have made me sick for ten years. My symptoms include: abnormal fatigue pain, muscular or joint extreme morning stiffness digestive problems sleep disorder numbness and tingling in arms sharp shooting pains in the chest and eyes musculare weakness difficulty concentrating and memory loss I want these out of my body as soon as I can. The problem is that insurance will not cover this, and I could be cancelled from my insurance policy!! I would love to sue MENTOR and have them pay for my surgery, is this possible. Can anyone guide me to the right person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
