Breast Implant Illness
Donation protected
I am a mother of two young girls and I am sick from my breast implants. When I was in my early 20's I had breast implants put in. At the time, I didn't feel feminine and I thought that Breast Implants were safe and they would make me feel better about myself. I have had them in for 14 years now and they are making me terribly sick with what is known as Breast Implant Illness (BII). I need to have them removed correctly so I can get better and be the mother to my children that they deserve. It is difficult to find a surgeon who will remove the implants correctly, it involves a procedure called an en bloc and it is more expensive (by almost double) to have them removed this way than when I had them put in. I wish so much I could go back in time and love the body that I had. I wish I had known that breast implants are far from safe and that they would one day make me this sick. I have scheduled my surgery for the beginning of May. I need help to pay for part of this surgery. It is more than $5,000 but I can pay the rest on my own from my savings account. Thank you so much for reading and for helping if you can! I am so grateful for any kind of support. XOXOXO
