Platinum Is For Jewelry

Or it should be. Who knew that platinum, the metal, the stuff really nice jewelry's made from is now found in the bodies of women who have had silicone breast implants. Unfortunately the platinum can cause toxicity and allergic reactions in women that have had the same implants for many years.


Silicone implants were the first implants made roughly 30 years ago. When women with silicone implants started having various odd symtoms and illnesses, silicone implants were off the market in favor of saline implants. Women complained that saline implants did not feel as real as silicone.


A few years back, silicone implants were once again cleared after numerous studies seemed to prove they were indeed not the culprits of various and sundry illnesses, but their use was limited to women who had undergone mastectomies.


Apparently now, women who have had implants for a number of years, need to undergo surgery again and have revisions done.


I knew I should have been a plastic surgeon, or married one....hmmm.
