Silicone Breast: What are the Dangers of Breast Silicone Implants Use

January 7th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off

Breast silicone implants are not harmless to your body. In their composition there are some chemicals which cause some health problems, for example, silicone immune toxicity syndrome. Silicone filled implants are composed mostly of silicon (it is mined from the earth as silica, which composition includes 45% of silicon), and silicon is considered to be the reason of changes in the immune system. Actually, if you have a silicone breast, you should know that silicone slowly leaks through the shell of the silicone implant and the capsule, surrounding it. The cells of our immune system (microphages, which actually cleanse our immune system) pick up this silicone and travel all over our body, while silicone is disintegrated into silica and silicone inside microphages. The deregulation of the immune system is the consequence of silica and silicon getting into the body. It results in an autoimmune disease, the cause of which is the production of antibodies and protein complex against silica and silicon.

The other danger of breast silicone implants is that they also include some chemicals, which are harmful to the body. Here is a list of the chemicals, used in silicone filled implants: Amine, Eatmen 910 Glue, Toluene, Urethane, Denatured and Isopropyl Alcohol, Hexane and Hexanone 2, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Ethyl Acetate, Epoxy Resin, Phenol Benzene-Known carcinogen, Flux Metal, Freon , Silicone, Lofol (formaldehyde), Cyclohexane, Naphtha (rubber solvent), Flux Metal, cleaning acid, Lacquer thinner, Color Pigments as release agents Oakite (a cleaning solvent), Ethylene Oxide (ETO), Carbob black, Antioxidant (rubber), Zinc Oxide, Xylene, Carbob black, Printing ink, and Talcum Powder.

Among other chemicals are Methylene Chloride/Dichloromethane, which disintegrates in the body and doesn’t let the blood carry oxygen. The central nervous system depression results from poisoning with carbon monoxide (which is the product of  Methylene Chloride/Dichloromethane’s metabolism). In Edwards Lab Polyvinyl Chloride or Liquid vinil was used as a component of all medical devices.

Estrogen plays an important role in the functioning of your body and affects it in different ways. Estrogen, as well as other hormones, plays an important role in breast cancer prevention and helps to avoid breast cancer recurrence. It performs various functions.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or Estrogen Replacement Therapy can be applied. Surgical, chemical or natural menopause or medicine, which suppresses estrogen, can decrease its level in the body. In this case, some low estrogen symptoms may occur. You may notice the dryness of vagina, headaches, night sweats, hot flashes – all these are low estrogen symptoms. In order to get rid of them, women may turn to HRT.

Also, if not used too much, estrogen treatment can help you. But remember that excessive amounts of estrogen may be the reason of some kinds of breast cancer developing. The most common breast cancer types are lobular, inflammatory, ductal and Paget’s disease. In order to impede the occurrence of the listed breast cancer types, some medicine suppressing estrogen can provide breast cancer prevention.

Ill Effects of Breast Augmentation Plastic Surgery

December 25th, 2008 Posted in breast implants surgery | Comments Off

There may be different ill effects after breast augmentation plastic surgery. Among them are anesthetic allergy and post-operation bleeding. Allergic reactions are more frequent than post-operation bleeding, as any anesthetic could cause them. If after breast plastic surgery there will be post-operation bleeding, then you’ll need to undergo another operation in order to remove the collected blood. Another complication may be thrombosis, hematoma or seroma.

Thrombosis is a blood clotting which is not normal, hematoma is the accumulation of blood, and seroma is a place where blood serum is accumulated. Also after breast augmentation surgery some kind of infection may develop, staph or staphylococcus is the most common type. If infection has developed, than you’ll need to go through implant removal and then  treating this infection. Usually infections develop within the first 6 weeks after breast implants surgery and only after treating the infection implant replacement could be performed. Another common ill effect is loss of sensitivity in the nipple area. It’s usually temporal, but permanent loss also may happen.
You may get excessive scars or inner scars development because of breast implants surgery. Sometimes galactorrhea (or a spontaneous milk production) may occur. It can either be treated or stop on its own accounts. If there’s a thick capsule, then calcification may appear. You’ll more often have to go through mammography after breast augmentation surgery. One of the rare but dangerous complications is implant extrusion. The extrusion is pushing out of implants by your body. In this case, implants may become visible and need to be removed. Sometimes extrusion results in an infection outbreak or scarring. Other ill effect of breast augmentation plastic surgery may be breast tissue atrophy.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, breast tissue atrophy is a shrinking and thinning of the breast tissue. It usually results from wearing implants or removal without further implant replacement. One more complication is the death of incision line, breast tissue or breast envelope. It’s extremely uncommon, but smoking and chemotherapy, temperatetherapy or cryotherapy performed after breast implants surgery increases the risk of the death of tissues developing.

Breast Examination Helps to Trace Breast Changes

December 17th, 2008 Posted in examine breast | Comments Off

You should know that there are some breast changes throughout your cycle and the whole life. Regular breast examination will help you to be aware of these changes – in this case, you’ll be more familiar with them than your doctor. Still, don’t forget to visit your doctor each year in order to examine breast and record the condition of your breast. You should know that under the hormonal changes, your diet and exercising your breast will go through many changes. Don’t worry about it – it’s natural and doesn’t show that there are any problems with your breast. In order to learn how to examine breast properly during each period of your life, it’s convenient to divide it into some stages:

1. The teenage period and puberty. At this stage from the first menstruation your body is going to sexual maturity, curves occur, and there are many changes in your body: acne may appear, your hair colour and structure may be changed. There are also some breast changes: it begins to grow and will be firm and dense to the touch, its denseness and firmness will be felt more clearly if your breast is small. During this period it’s better to ask your female relatives what problems they ever had with the breast. For example, learn if some of them have ever had breast cysts. In fact, you’ll have a higher breast cancer risk or a higher risk of suffering from any other breast problems if some of your relatives have ever experienced any breast disease. That’s why if, for example, your mother suffers from breast cysts then you also may be subjected to having them. You shouldn’t be worry, as cysts are rather benign. Still you’ll certainly want to perform your breast examination in order to know if you’re currently having cysts or any other changes of your breast.

2. The period of pregnancy and breastfeeding. At this stage, some more changes in your breast will occur – in fact, not only in your breast, but in the whole body. Usually your breast grows bigger and more tender during pregnancy and it needs more support. Just don’t forget to examine breast regularly and keep an eye on your breast changes and know, that pregnancy and breastfeeding will help to reduce a breast cancer risk.

3. The period of menopause. As you can imagine, there also will be changes n your breast. As soon as the levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease, your breast becomes less firm and looks different in comparison with earlier years of your life. Examine your breast regularly, don’t be worried if you’ll find more lumps – it happens because the tissue of your breast is now less firm and dense. Again, don’t be worried: the prevailing majority of these lumps are benign.
