An inconvenient truth…

An unpleasant and inconvenient truth for many women…

One study identified a total of 14 compounds in silicone implants including 5 consumer products (fragrances in soaps, perfumes, and detergents), 3 chemicals in commerce (flame-retardants), 3 pesticides, 1 aromatic hydrocarbon.

Do you know what all that is?

It’s industry run amok and it’s a mishmash of really bad sh*t.

Some women (I’m thinking most) do not have the physiological machinery to metabolize the chemical compounds that are in breast implants.

Some women do, but the total body burden becomes too much and over time a chemical build up begins to take place inside your tissues.

If you are a woman considering explant surgery, please be patient with yourself during the healing process. Once the autoimmune process gets turned on, it can take a minute to get into remission.

The road to recovery is an adventure and we get to learn all kinds of things about ourselves along the way.

Sometimes it’s messy.

Sometimes it’s beautiful.

Nothing’s gone wrong.

Love,

Dr. Vanessa
