Materials scientist here. It's important to say that "silicone" is about as descriptive as saying "polymer". There is just as much variety in the chemistry of silicones as there is with carbon-backbone polymers. Simple silicones like PDMS have been around forever and are safe enough you can eat them. However, just like some carbon-backbone polymers have been found to degrade into toxic fragments, so could some silicone polymers. On top of this, just like with carbon-backbone polymers, it can be additives that are the cause of toxicity/carcinogenicity. There needs to be more transparency about *which* silicone polymer specifically is being used, and what additives were used in its processing.
Nuovoswiss pdms has a fairly good degradation stability at body ph range (- stomach). But yeah additives and cylic low molecularcweight cylics can make a difference. The challenge here might be hidden in formulation stability and non disclosure of manufacturing practices. Well can be many things. But i am not happy ( as a fellow researcher) how the whole report skipped nuances and facts and went after a big bad chemical company withouth checking with any expert. Thought pdf was supposed to be more balanced story provider. Ah well. Next
labobo not a regular commentator here, not sure how much its worth it. This report is handling difficult topic with little fact and say so approach. so i d suggest its taken down. I left another comment somewhere here but cant find it back...expert chemist or toxicologist would improve it.

Thanks!
The odds are extremely high that all the manufacturers hiding behind "trade secret" laws and such are using proprietary silicones that aren't tested worth shit and could break down into all kinds of fun poisons.
May last a life time......
Its technically true if it kills you
It's like the parachute joke. If you go skydiving and your parachute doesn't open, you have the rest of your life to figure out.

The term "moldy implants" gave me actual chills.
It's even more disgusting when you see how it looks. Black with floating mold particles. I watch a lot of exposes and documentaries.
That caught me off guard while I was eating.
Are you sure the thing giving you chills isn't actually *your* moldy implants?
Same
It's women's fault for being so vain that they "need" to get breast implants in the first place. Breast implants are never a necessity.
I'm a biomedical engineer, we study breast implants in class, we study the risks, for a surgeon to not disclose them to a potential patient it's criminal.
It should come wirh a huge warning sign exactly like cigarettes
Thankyou for your hardwork and please continue for everyones well being. :3
The VAST majority of people who say they were never told of any risks are liars. I can guarantee you every one of the women on that panel have a release form signed that lists every one of those potential risks.
Nothing is criminal anymore if you can use that money to get a high price lawyer sadly
@@justing7490 i agree, i know alot of models who are so in a rush to get implants or other body modifications to make them "beautiful" that i doubt they read the actually thing their signing. Hell we barely read risk on electronics like batteries or headphones and not even know those are a risk...I doubt they read the surgery agreement
I'm a PhD polymer chemist and am in no way trying to defend Dow, but Nicole Daruda needs to check her facts. First, silicone was not invented by Dow. That was Frederic Kipping, a Bitish chemist who worked as a research professor at various European universities. Second, silicone is NOT a pesticide! Dow does use silicone in some of it's pesticide solutions, but the silicone itself is not a pesticide.
Again, not trying to take aways from the message of the video. Just making sure the facts are correct.
To be fair, she never said silicone was a pesticide, but that DOW's first application of silicone was tested as a pesticide.
Thank you
Classic fearmongering. I agree the topic is important, but it bugs me when alternative facts creep in
Yeah I'm confused because I've heard that there's no super hard evidence that great implant illness is a real thing, that it's all been on small studies and anecdotal evidence
THANK YOU. That was really bugging me.
Whenever someone says “this chemical is bad because it’s been made by a bad company” or “this chemical is used in pesticides/cleaning supplies/etc” they are not a credible source.
Not to say silicone implants aren’t an issue, only that the information in here by that person is not credible.
I agree, the logic is a fallacy, they made this thing and its bad, so therefore this other thing they make is bad. Not saying they are wrong based off of that because that would be me falling for the fallacy fallacy (where you assume someone is wrong cause they used a fallacy in their argument) But when trying to convey a message and wanting to be respected, stay clear of fallacies.
I should note that I am not saying they are wrong about the dangers of breast implants, the evidence is pretty clear based on statistics and other information that part I am fully on board and agree with them being dangerous, just wanting to point out the dangers that came from that one claim as people who for some reason want to defend the people who make these (I never understand why but there are very often people who are willing to do that even if they are the vast minority) will use that fallacy as a point in their argument, just like flat earthers will use the UN symbol as a point in their own argument.
Uhohhotdog Gaming I agree. Saying something (anything) in pesticides is concerning but vague. There’s been a wave of mass hysteria of the word “chemical” with many people not understanding what a chemical even means. Even less people understand the level of toxicity with some chemicals or if there is any at all.There are harmless household product you can use as pesticides, there are harmless products you can use to sanitize products. However, it is still important to consider and understand what the risks are and we need transparency about that.
What concerns me more about the implants is not technically what they’re made of, though that is a big deal and I’m on the fence with that just because you’re not even supposed to put anything in your breast tissue in the first place let alone a mass amount of silicone. What’s concerning is how your body reacts to the foreign object and that seems to be the root of the problem. Your body has a natural reaction to fight and “spit out” anything that doesn’t belong in your body. That’s what doctors and healthcare providers are leaving out and even misunderstanding.
It’s not talked about and more people need to be educated about it instead of resorting to mass panic when they hear the word “chemical”. They need to ask themselves why that’s concerning and exactly how it can either negatively or not affect the body.
@@loveandcupcakes100 It gets worse, I hear they put dihydrogen monoxide in those as well, that's the kind of stuff they use to clean car batteries, and cool down nuclear reactors, they've found quantities of this shit in cancer cells, and if you breathe it in it can outright kill you!
It's also another name for water. Everything else was still true.
Everything made by Monsanto is harmful and poisonous.
Yeah but, if it's used in a pesticide, it must be dangerous.
Come to think of it, I hear dihydrogen monoxide is used as a universal solvent, for many pesticides.
...we need to ban that shit. Like. Right now.

Really great video guys! Just be sure to fact check your guest speakers. That lady with the Facebook group is very wrong about some of the things she said
Like what?
@Cait P, see the top comment. Dow did not invent silicone to be used as a pesticide. Hell, we use silicone in/for a lot of things, makeup (especially primer), bakeware, toys, lube, and many other things.
Second most liked comment also has useful info explaining there are many different kinds of/molecular structures of silicone products. Not all are created equal.
All in all, I think the point of the video is more to convey the lack of transparency between the FDA, the breast implant manufacturers, and plastic surgeons.
Its probably related to what she through so how she is wrong
@@katiegriggs9825 you might be interested in RF Kipping, who originally coined the term "Silicone" regarding the Siloxanes as they're technically correct nomenclature... He pioneered the research and development of polymerized silocon rubbers, lubricants, and so forth in Nottingham England back around 1900 or so...
...for University, and the like. ;o)
Sir Mix-a-Lot warned against this, “cause silicone parts are made for toys.”
We should've heeded his great words of wisdom sooner
Nah its to eat foo
Word.
And then someone invented ass implants.
Maybe we should treat implants like cigarettes and require transparency about the health risks
Any medical procedure no matter how routine, or minor should be treated like this.
Nick Moore women don’t “make themselves” insecure, it’s the messages they are given from age 10+
TheJeffreyJJones Most medical procedures are. The difference with breast implants is that none of them are medically required, which makes the unscrupulous hide risks more.
@Nick Moore lmao wish you weren't so fuckin awkward bud
They do, people just choose to sign paperwork without reading it....
Nicole Darudas going for the neck claiming DOW invented agent orange. I probably would've looked over the other fallacies if it wasn't for this one. getting information to the public is important but only if its the correct information.
what information is false?
@@sparkysparkyboomman3066 a Fallacy isn't false information. She believes and states things like they invented agent orange and they invented silicon that is a pesticide without acknowledging that not all silicon is a pesticide because of her feelings towards the company. they may have done some fucked up shit but she uses these unsound arguments to further her argument.
The Jim Jimbo, Nicole Daruda knows what she's talking about. James R. Clary was a young Air Force officer and scientist who designed the spray tank for the C-123 cargo planes that dispensed Agent Orange and other herbicides during the Vietnam War.
Thirteen years after the conflict ended, with serious concerns being raised in Congress about the effects of defoliants on veterans’ health, Clary dropped a startling bombshell: Military scientists had known that herbicides shipped to Vietnam were contaminated with dioxin and had “the potential for damage” to human health.
“However, because the material was to be used on the ‘enemy,’ none of us were overly concerned,” Clary wrote to then-Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D. “We never considered a scenario in which our own personnel would become contaminated with the herbicide.” Agent Orange was produced primarily by the Monsanto Corp. and Dow Chemical. Both companies say the defoliant was made according to strict military specifications. “The government specified the chemical composition of Agent Orange and when, where and how the material was to be used in the field, including application rates,” Monsanto says.
But a 1990 report compiled by Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr. for the Department of Veterans Affairs that recommended compensation for ailing veterans who’d been exposed to Agent Orange also detailed evidence that Dow Chemical knew as early as 1964 that dioxin was a “byproduct of the manufacturing process” and that the dangers of exposure were clear. That report cited an internal company memo warning that exposure could result in “general organ toxicity,” in addition to “psychopathological” and “other systemic” problems.
In 1965, according to another memo that’s became public in federal court documents, Dow warned Monsanto and other Agent Orange makers that industry “had to resolve the (dioxin) problem before the government found out.” Monsanto and other companies ignored this warning and continued to make Agent Orange with high levels of dioxin. Dow changed its manufacturing process so that its product contained much lower levels of the contaminant. Dow officials later admitted in federal court and in congressional testimony in the 1980s that they didn’t inform the U.S. government about dioxin contamination in Agent Orange until 1969 at the earliest.
Despite these revelations, the federal courts have consistently shielded Dow, Monsanto and other manufacturers from liability because they produced Agent Orange under government contract.
Neither Dow Chemical nor Monsanto responded to email and telephone requests for comment for this article. Both companies have publicly absolved themselves of any responsibility in the matter.
“All historic wartime issues, including the use of Agent Orange, are appropriately a matter of resolution by and among the governments of the United States, Vietnam and the allied forces,” Dow Chemical says on its website. Today, Clary stands by the original concept of Operation Ranch Hand, as the U.S. Air Force defoliation program was known, as a “sound and benign program,” but he regrets that herbicides with high levels of dioxin were used in the war.
“I would like to point out that the science 50 years ago did not indicate the kind of long-term effects of dioxin that we’re seeing today,” he said in an email. “I would like to believe that if we had the science then that we have today that the government would not have used (Agent Orange) with high dioxin content.” www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/world/article24751345.html
@@WRTruthMatters thanks for the dedication and providing me with sources and information.
@@WRTruthMatters, look not to argue particularly... because obviously Dow and Monsanto were up to their figurative earlobes in f***ed up sh*t.
BUT what you're missing in that historical remark is that "Agent Orange" was originally invented as a means to PROMOTE crops to grow and bear. AND that it was actually successful. It chemically triggers hormones that cause growth BUT it only works like that in very small measured amounts... Too much, and it wipes out the plants very effectively.
I seem to recall this was an MIT thing (but I may be wrong)... AND the formula was STOLEN by the Federal Government while the young biochemist inventor's back was turned (or the paper was in the peer-review stage)... THEN the Federal Government contracted Dow and Monsanto to industrialize the processing and churn out tons of the stuff...
This of course, leads into your history-lesson about the courts, and shielding both corporations, since they were under Federal Contracts at the time... science around it all, irrelevant.
MEANWHILE, the very scientist who invented it originally, took up legal pursuit, and later joined protesters of the war, considering he already WELL understood the consequences of his invention being so grossly mismanaged and having serious reservations about an invention he'd intended to peacefully use to FEED masses being taken up as a weapon of mass destruction... During both Nam and Korea, he was fairly well documented for his activism against the U.S. Government and the War efforts on both accounts.
Now, like I said, both Dow, and Monsanto are up to their figurative ears in f***ed up sh*t. No contest, BUT even the Agent Orange debacle wasn't entirely on them. While it's dubious at best to give moral credibility to a corporate mechanic taking money from the Government for stealing patent-grade information and mass-producing it to make fortunes on the warfare and mass murder involved... It's not all together less than disingenuous to simply and blithely accuse Dow OR Monsanto of being exactly complicit.
What the hell else were they going to do?
Refuse... and another company is going to step up, probably give even less of a damn who gets injured and not only make unreasonable moneys from the government for this murder-chemical, but grow big enough to take market shares away from Dow &/or Monsanto...
...and Dow and Monsanto (for that refusal) can face very real threats of governmental retaliations... sanctions... prosecution... or worse. ;o)
Never stop Phil. Been watching you since Meagan Fox watch. Proud to see you turn everything into a business. I know youtube hasn’t been kind, but the beautiful bastards love you.
It feels like breast implants aren't the only industry doing this. Iud's and birth control actively play down or ignore complaints and facts about Iud's and the risks associated with them. I would love to see a deep dive on those!
Yep. Apparently women's health is not important
@@Gr95dc
The patriarchy is alive and well. It'll take every opportunity it has to destroy and enslave women.
Until 30 or 40 years ago new drugs weren't even tested on women before releasing them to the general public! Until 20 or 30 years ago medical science didn't even recognize that women's heart attack symptoms were different than men's symptoms. 150 years ago doctors still thought that a woman's uterus traveled around inside her body and caused "hysteria" if it didn't settle back into its rightful place quickly enough. Women's medicine has *always* been an afterthought.
Just read that people are getting copper poisoning from copper IUDs! I never even knew that was a thing!
What sucks is that women have 1 non hormonal option- the copper iud. The rest of the options are hormonal and cause havoc on your body. If you are sensitive to hormones like I am, my choices become risk copper poisoning or fuck up my body. The even crazier part to me is that birth control methods for men are sterilization or condoms. Birth control for men has been rejected as it has side effects almost identical to women. Yet there are no products on the market for men.
Phil. why did you not threaten me with violence? There is now no way for me to enjoy this 25 minute deep dive!
We love fungus growing in your implants slowly poisoning you into delirium
Locally sourced. Home-Made. Low carbon footprint.
Yolanda from rhobh.
Yeah!!
Wait wut?
I think it’s more like a time bomb. The mold multiplies continuously inside the implant until it exhausts it’s nutrient supply; then when it pops the high concentrations of mold is released into the body. Depending on the permeability of the silicon, the size of the break and how much scar tissue surrounds (among other things) the implant may determine how quickly it spreads. The kind of mold, the concentration of the mold at the time of rupture and the immune system of the person would determine how severe of a immune reaction the body would have. (I think, Obligatory: not a doctor) It’s equally horrifying nonetheless and I hope that when the FDA is done approving certain implants, reactions will be less frequent or absent.
When said like that, that's horrifying. I've had the misfortune of sleeping for about a year in a room that had a terrible mildew problem under the carpet. I was constantly sick and constantly had headaches. Can't imagine having a fungus in your body for years...

@ATs Channel I suppose it does, when it's not hurting the person wearing them.
I had no idea silicone was unbanned in the US. Not just because of the proven health risks but even more so the fact that the safer alternatives feel and look more natutal.
It just makes no sense unless I guess it's cheaper to manufacture or something?

If there is inaccurate information here you should point those instances out with time tags. Evidence of the factual information should be linked or given.
@F Nah. If you make the claim you should cite it yourself and not tell others to "scroll down to find the facts that I am reporting".
@@cjfanning1989 No, the burden of proof lies with the person making a positive claim. Not the person pointing out that they were wrong.
@@ryanpfeiffer42 you're not wrong, but you're not right. If the information vtheu are giving is inaccurate then yes that's on them. However you can't just walk into a conversation and say "you're wrong" then walk out and expect to be heard. What should happen is more along the lines of "you're wrong, and here's my proof" because you're not helping anyone by simply detracting. Problem followed by solution.
@F I get your point that other comments illuminate the issues, and that a person could easily scroll through. However I still stand by the need to cite your information if you're attempt is to educate. As an added bonus to this; the more people that comment with facts to the contrary, the more likely DeFranco and team are to hear you.
Hey Phil. I am a transwoman. Since long before I started taking hormones I somewhat felt I would always eventually get an augmentation done. But this video has made me reconsider that and I will definitely be doing a lot more research before I make any decisions. Thank you for this.
I hope they regulate them,and make implants less risky- Many women get these, and it's messed up how dangerous this is (and how it's allowed , given the dangerous ingredients and reactions to said implants)...
I know it's TMI, but I have to get a (benign) tumor removed. I personally would want an implant to even things out, especially considering that the tumor takes up a large portion of my breast. Whenever I end up getting this, I hope that the regulations are stricter. It makes me nervous, knowing the serious risk it poses for myself and many others. I also hope that these become safer -so that these incidents are significantly reduced and /or no more.
is fat transfer to the area an option you could opt for instead?
You can get a fat transfer. It’s a lot safer. But you need a good amount of fat.

The issue is some women have mastectomies, which really reduce their ability to live normal lives, like go to the beach, or wear a nice dress.
Though i definitely agree that in the case of women who are healthy, and just aren't happy with their natural size, natural is pretty much always better
@@BothHands1 fucking exactly! no one in this comments is taking cancer survivors into account.
The foreign matter and oily liquids those doctors on Botched have removed from people's bodies, so scary.
The lady confuses manufactured silicones and Silicon Dioxide, which was originally researched as a pesticide. That's products like diatomaceous earth, used as a pesticide.
SiliconEs and silicon are related but two entirely different things. SiliconEs are not pesticides and we're talking about siliconEs when talking about medical grade silicone like in implants. This is, like, high school grade chemistry. Why didn't the team making the video catch this nonsense?
And these are all issues that have never been hidden, at least in the rest of the world. They've always been talked about when breast implants are mentioned. Leaking liquid silicone is not good for ya. Where I live anyone wanting these implants is told about all the possible nasty effects but it hasn't stopped them. They thought the rewards beat the risks.
wondertwin yeah I feel bad for the lady but her information was all over the place. It’s an elective surgery and removing them is also elective so it’s not worth arguing to keep them. I just wasn’t really convinced on how specifically dangerous an implant that didn’t rupture can cause.
She Said The Same Dudes Developed Agent Orange. Was That Wrong?
D. PlanetaryPluto It’s fear mongering. People like to bring up things that sound scary when they don’t have facts to back up the issues. Clearly we need to be more careful here but she’s not making a valid point with that.
Marco Miceli Yup. What really sealed the deal that she had no science or medical background was when she said “...smelled of chemicals...” when talking about her removed implant. Clearly fear mongering cause, cHeMiCAls aRe bAD.
And will add. While the video does describe a lot of symptoms. Those symptoms can be caused by a million different things. And... they just happen to be the same symptoms that Anti-Vaxxers say vaccines cause. Everyone knows how they blame vaccines for Autism. But they also blame autoimmune disorders on vaccines along with a bunch of nonspecific symptoms.
In any case. If anyone does get the procedure done. They can be removed and from what the physician in the video said. Patients recover and feel better afterwards.
@@uadimwit How So? Did They Not Know What They Were Manufacturing?
Thank you so much for talking about this! I had no idea of the risks until watching Karissa’s video a few months ago. I was shocked! I told my friends and family and they were shocked as well. Getting breast implants had always been something in the back of my mind, but after seeing her video (and a few others) I will never!
Thank you for mentioning post-mastectomy reconstruction.
My question is why put something that causes cancer in someone who is predisposed to cancer? My mom actually brought that up with her doctor when he asked how she wanted her reconstruction done. His answer was a better mental health outlook post mastectomy. When she asked about reoccurring cancer being bad for mental health it was basically just a shrug and "well, this is the guidelines."
I think that raises more questions than answers in my opinion.
earth star I meant it in terms of why women would choose to have implants. I’m not defending doctors who knew by any means; I’m just glad that it was mentioned that not all women choose to get implants for “beauty” purposes since I know some people in the comments would be quick to jump on women who got implants and call them vapid and vain. Either way, regardless of why someone chose to get implants, it’s terrible that they were misled and misinformed.
@@kyoyameganebereznoff there is a horrible misconception that if you don't reconstruct immediately you are less than and it leaves already vulnerable people making hasty decisions right before surgeries which are usually scheduled pretty urgently.
The focus is still on vanity, if you choose reconstruction it shouldn't be hasty and done at the same time as mastectomies.
I have a friend who found breast cancer in her early thirties and had a double mastectomy. She had implants as reconstruction and I am concerned about the possible complications.
My aunt had breast cancer and got implants initially because she felt like less of a woman. Her body rejected them so she tried smaller ones and then eventually went with no implants. She eventually got over the stigma, but it was really hard for her.
I've heard this about the silicone implants. I think fat-transfer is what some people are doing now instead.
Still so dangerous tho. Like, they can accidentally inject fat into blood vessels and kill you
@@nala3055 So true hun! That's also happening 2 alot of women right now. And plus fat transfers only stay for a couple of years
doing liposuction on your boobs isn’t always successful considering if you lose weight afterwards, your body will naturally lose that fat you put in your boobs too, plus you can only go up a size because the doctors are unable to make it too big, which idk why.

@@Woods7er wow lol some aggressive feedback on this. I wasn't talking about me. I've never had any plastic surgery and I'm at peace with my small boobs. I'm just saying in response to silicone complaints the fat transfer has also popped up on the market.
Hey Phil, MD here. There's a lot of misinformation in this video, whether from you or from the sources you used. I saw misinformation by omission and plain misinformation regarding ALCL. There's no discussion on textured implants, no discussion on ADMs, which essentially makes this video completely biased and motivated by sensationalism. Any foreign body including breast implants will cause an inflammatory reaction in the body. You can have a completely sterile implant but as soon as it's in the body cavity it causes cytokines and immune cells to react. You cannot prevent it. This is not an issue with implants or silicone. Patients who report autoimmune disease are mistaken if they think implants are the cause of their disease. They've already had the genotypic potential to have lupus.. implants did not give them lupus. Autoimmune diseases are not given to you.
Textured implants however are another discussion and recent literature have robust findings that are more significant to the point you are trying to make regarding "dangers" of any foreign bodies as implants.
Please Phil, if you are trying to report the truth, this is not a good video showing it.
If putting an implant in causes illness, it doesnt matter what the mechanism pf the illness is. It doesn’t matter of the material gave the illness or the surgery did. Because the material cannot get inside you without the surgery.
But then why have women gotten healthy again after removing their implants? I have seen many of these cases. Not talking about lupus per say, but headaches, sore joints, dizzieness, exhaustion etc. It clearly creates an irritation in the body and if someone have the genes to develop an autoimmune disease, than this could be enough for it to break out.
Did you miss the three separate points where they said that textured implants have a statistically greater risk of side effects?
@@annikennr4686 Basically, they form an 'allergy' to the implant material. The material of the implant causes an auto-immune response triggering the inflammatory pathway which can lead to things like headaches, sore joints, etc. It's like if someone eats some food that they are mildly allergic, they too would suffer from similar symptoms which recede when that allergen clears their system.
@@annikennr4686 In medicine we don't draw conclusions from individuals reporting anecdotes. Action will not happen without evidence based medicine backed by RCTs. I will avoid textured implants and similarly ADMs suspended in ethanol without thorough washout. But these things come second to postmastectomy reconstruction patients who desire a high degree of cosmetic result. Groups who advocate FDA stripping of implants are not doctors or scientists and they do not consider the issue on a population level because they are so focused on their own poor outcomes. Implants do way more good than harm.

What’s crazy is I had ALL the same symptoms of breast implant illness, but have never had a boob job... I found out it was linked to having a Copper IUD inserted in me.
And then found a HUGE Facebook support group with thousands of women saying they have gotten copper toxicity or poisoning from copper IUDs!!!!
PLEASE PHIL DO A STORY ON THIS
Wow, I was thinking of getting a copper IUD. I never heard of this even though I've done a lot of research on IUDs. I didn't go for the copper one because I'm anemic and have been told that it's not suggested for people with anemia because you'll bleed more during periods apparently.
what does I.U.D. stand for?
@@Not.Your.Business intrauterine device. It's a birth control method
The risks of IUD's are so under reported. I have 2 friends with infertility from them and they can't get them to take them seriously.

That was seriously the resolution to this. I know so many women maimed by them. Its crazy they are even still legal. Its women's health care though, so why am I surprised.
I had an IUD for only a month before I had to get it removed because of a slew of problems
Sorry Phil, I'm usually a big fan but this one was a disappointment for me. I'm an emergency room nurse, and so much of the info in this was poorly supported, appeared to be relying on anecdotes over evidence, and repeatedly relied on people with no apparent expertise in the field. I'm not saying it isn't an issue, I don't really know about it, but this all felt of pseudoscience and fear mongering. You really missed the mark.

THANK YOU. My mom had breast cancer within the past couple years and got her implants about a year ago. She had NO idea about this. This is so important.
although this doesnt affect me, its still really informative. a lot of people really need to be aware of this.
Some misleading info in this episode. Not sure it's intended on your part Phil, but I would spend a bit more time fact checking. Silicone wasn't used as a pesticide. It was used as a surfactant in RNAi testing. A surfacant simply reduces surface tension between two objects - dish soap is a surfactant. Its purpose is to reduce the surface tension between your dishes and the gunk stuck to them, so it can be wiped away. Regarding pesticides, silicone was mixed with RNAi to allow the RNA molecules to enter air-exchange holes in the plant's surface that disrupted the gene for tolerance to certain herbicides. Silicone itself wasn't used to cause damage to either the plants or the pests. Not even close.
I am a breast cancer survivor via radiation, chemo, and finally had to have a double mastectomy. When exploring options with my surgeon, surrounding the mastectomy I was offered a "skin sparing" option that would allow for implants after I was healed. I visited two different plastic surgeons to talk about having implants immediately vs. waiting to be fully healed. Of the THREE doctors I spoke to about implants, not one mentioned the risks associated with them. I find it extremely troubling that there is not more information readily available to those struggling to make these decisions. I mean even cigarettes come with a surgeon generals warning.
Yassss thank you Phil!!!! So glad you’re bringing awareness to this 🙌🏻

#breastimplantillness has almost 30k tags on Instagram. It’s already being discussed.
I found it interesting that you didn't discuss the problem from the Poly Implant Prosthesis (PIP) company from France who went into liquidaton after they used unapproved chemicals inside the implants in 2010. I remember the story hitting the mainstream news and being shocked that the Australian, European many other FDA equivalents allowed this to happen for so long without studies and investigations of the actual implants.
Since the news around PIP I have been looking into anything any doctor does anything to me, my family and friends.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD
I see a lot of people bashing women who get implants so I just wanted to say I have no problem with people who get cosmetic surgery, including breast implants. I think cosmetic surgery is only a problem if you’re putting yourself in debt to do it(and the problem itself there isn’t the surgery) or you KNOW it’s becoming a danger to your body and you do it anyway. But this isn’t that! These are women who weren’t thoroughly warned by their doctor so they had no idea these risks were there. Some of those women might have still gone through with it knowing the risk, but most likely wouldn’t. That’s the issue. There are SO many reasons for someone to get cosmetic surgery and I wouldn’t bash someone for wanting to do it.
I respectfully disagree. If surgery is needed to restore a person after injury, or to correct a deformity, absolutely. Otherwise, it's not necessary. Physical modification of any sort is risky, so why incur unnecessary risk?
@@UnitZER0 Hmm... so you think that people shouldn't get tattoos or have their ears pierced? Those are body modifications as well.
@@MissMillydilly Tattoos have their own set of risks, including necrotizing fascitis. But when done properly, the risk is far lower than an implant. Piercings also carry risk of infection, or worse. But in terms of risk, they typically possess the lowest overall risk.
@@MissMillydilly there are complications that can happen with tattoos and piercing also. Yet we take the risk and do that although you're not going under the knife for tattoos or piercings.
You're literally getting surgery for vanity, most people with common sense try to minimize the number of surgeries they have, not increase it.
If it’s for recovery, sure. But if it’s for vanity, it would be better to invest in psychotherapy. The brain is the sexiest organ in the body, and you don’t need invasive surgery to augment it!

I got my fake boobies almost 2 years ago. I am still happy with them...but like Phil said, I did a shit ton of homework. I looked up every kind of implant, ways they could be inserted, complications from the implant, complications from the surgery and THEN I interviewed 4 doctors until finding the right one for me. Watching this was interesting... I have been very careful to note any changes with my body and be wary of the possible issues. I think too many women just get wrapped up in finding a solution to a problem that can mar their mental and physical state. I dont blame them either, because I was that way for a while too. Frankly, the only thing that made me wise up was the cost. If im going to drop 9k on this... i am doing it by the book. I'm glad I did.
How was the process? Are you satisfied with the results?
Hopefully you have the funds set aside for the FDA recommended MRI's at three years post implant and every two years thereafter. Also, implants are not life time devices. The implant shells degrade and the implants eventually rupture. A proper explant, depending on where you live in the United States, costs anywhere from $4,000 to $10,000 or more and if you choose to implant again you can add that cost and then start over again. Then there's the concern of possibly developing Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma which is a cancer of the immune system. This information is available and the FDA website. healingbreastimplantillness.com/bia-alcl-breast-implant-associated-lymphoma/
Don’t be too afraid of Wilson and all these fear mongers. If you go to the actual fda website and not some random biased site: These estimated incidence rates range from a high of 1 per 3,817 patients to a low estimate of 1 in 30,000 (Clemens et al, 2017; Loch-Wilkinson et al, 2017; De Boer et al, 2018)”. Is the quote from the fda and nowhere do they recommend not getting breast implants. Just to be clear it can happen but it’s rare enough that a single doctor may never see a patient like it.

Trust me, the Kardashians are gonna be fine. Its the people who aren't millionaires that need to worry about their health
I think they have enough money to keep theirs new. Having them replaced every few years before they are damaged.
Freeway remember the video said they do not need to be damaged to be dangerous.
Not necessarily, pablo just pablo. A woman could have the best plastic surgeon in LA, and if she doesn't do the maintenance of having them replaced every two to three years, she's very likely to have problems with the implants leaking or breaking down the exterior material.
They probably get them replaced every few months too years

BII's currently reported symptoms are so inconsistent that it leads me to think that maybe some of them have a psychological _(or filed personal injury lawsuit)_ causes. But even if that were so, I do think that every one of them should be thoroughly investigated and analyzed. Just have to get past the legalese of what might be happening and do the proper science and learn what is actually happening to these patients.
Ok. Something I've noticed about all of the news outlets is that they all say "It's super rare".
It's like they are trying to downplay.
Exactly! Also look at the numbers of women who get breast implants vs have implant complications per year. No tiny percentage. 42% of breast implant reconstruction patients with silicon and 21% with saline implants need at least one additional surgery within just 3 years. 8% of women with implants develop capsular contracture. People need to stop painting implants as some perfectly safe thing.
Finally someone is talking about this, thank you.
I've never heard about this before. This is good to know. Thank you, Phil.
It's sad how many women are made to feel inadequete to the point of undergoing dangerous cosmetic surgeries just to look more "ideal".

They said that silicon implants accounted for 274 cases of BIA but saline implants accounted for 183. But earlier in the video they said that saline implants were used in 12% of surgeries...seems disproportionate and heavily weighted towards saline implants being a larger problem. 40% of cases when a much smaller fraction of women have that type?
🙌
Cosmetic surgery like this always makes me feel a little sad but when it is at a level of risking your health for vanity's sake I'm just outright mind blown.
Sadly, it didn't used to be that way. Plastic surgery was developed originally for the purpose of restoration. To make those maimed by horrible injuries whole again. But now, it's been warped far beyond its original intent.
Because we place beautiful people on such high pedestals. Sometimes people think if they can achieve that level of beauty, they'll be happy and successful as well.

This is especially sad when you consider that women are much more likely to have their symptoms minimized by their doctors. Or straight up told its essentially in our head. tight tight tight.
What? That actually happens? Gross
@@totallummox64 unfortunately yes :(
@@totallummox64 Yes. Women are perceived as weaker and therefore more likely to exaggerate symptoms, but on average the opposite is true. Since most of us have to endure significant recurring pain and illness symptoms once a month, we're usually more tolerant to illness than men are. There are a lot of memes about how a cold renders men totally useless, but women will keep going even if they're having heart attack symptoms.
Obviously an overexaggeration, but anecdotally I see men derailed by small illness much more than women. Which doesn't mean anything about men, if you're used to feeling healthy 99% of the time, getting sick will always feel much worse to them. As opposed to women, who feel crappy and sick a quarter of the year.

@@totallummox64
Anecdotally when my sister was a teenager she began to get episodes of agonising back pain. She went back & back to her local drs but they did not seem concerned or believe the severity of her pain. She was also getting frequent UTIs & saw a urologist who actually said out loud "women feel more pain" & alluded to her pain purely being psychological rather than physical. Said Dr also said that women are lazy & my sister should keep moving around & not expect people to be her servent (this in relation to my sister attempting to convey how debilitating the pain is & that during an attack she was unable to do anything & wants a solution to be able to live a normal life- his solution, live a normal life & the pain will go... As if she was choosing to be lazy rather than suffering disabling agony.)
Another Dr in a very nonchalant manner stated my sister will likely just have to live with the pain for the rest of her life, with no answers or relif, then expected her to "feel better" because there was "nothing wrong" as if anxiety was the problem not agony & a physical cause.
Another Dr suggested therapy because she seemed "distressed" yes she, & I, were distressed after years of her pain & being ill yet no investigations or treatment being proposed.
Another Dr suggested CBT to "cope with her symptoms" my sister said if her symptoms were taken seriously investigated & had a know cause or management then she would not need to cope as there would be no medical problem to cope with. The Dr insisted CBT is known to reduce her symptoms "in cases like these" i.e. assuming it is purely psychological problems based on gender & often age!
Idk if there is a secret Dr code but my sister literally walked through the door of some appointments & the Dr started to treat her as a nervous wreck, despite her calm demeanor, & ignoring any physical explanation for her symptoms at all. We have learned that "medically unexplained symptoms" does not mean ignorant Dr or not believing the patient or actually trying to find a physical cause, instead "medically unexplained symptoms" is a way of saying symptoms purely caused by emotional or mental health problems...Often diagnosed with no mental health assessment, no input by a mental health professional & alarmingly often no mental health treatment suggested for the patient.
More doctors blamed exam stress, non existent dating issues, arguing with parents, family problems, working too hard, not working enough, being hormonal etc than any physical examination or listening to the severity of her pain.
I acompanied my sister to one appointment after she was chastised for asking for painkillers. I listened to her explain that she would feel unwell, feel sick, get hot & sweaty & have a very specific agony in her back. She explained the pain was so bad she was unable to do anything & had to leave her classroom & often lie down as she felt faint with the pain. The Dr was incredibly dismissive. After I asked if her urinery tract infections might be related as her pain was in her kidney the Dr literally said "oh no kidney pain is agony, she would be feeling faint & barely able to function if that was her problem"... Literally just stating the very same symptoms my sister described to him! He diagnosed a muscle pain due to her being tall & dismissed her complaint.
Once the pain got so bad that when she went to the emergency for painkillers a Dr thought she was giving birth! Until drs saw my sister in pain thet assumed she was being dramatic, one actually said "wow you are in pain" no shit Sherlock! Did the doc think my sister was making just it up before?!
Drs largely take the stance that patients exadurate their symptoms, particularly women.
...In the end it turned out that my sister had kidney stones that were causing the UTIs. You know kidney stones which are absolutely agony! Her left kidney is now permently scared & has reduced function but thankfully since a long course of strong antibiotics she has been pain free for years.
Her experience was a steep learning curve about the sexist, biased, ignorant attitude of many medical professionals. Not to mention some drs being obviously sexist.
Many drs talked down to my sister, not even looking at her when talking & assuming she just wanted reassurance for her hysteria & then to go in her merry healthy way. Yet when I addressed the Dr their demenour instantly changed, they talked with more respect, looked at me & actually listened. I can't remember what is was but my sister said something & the Dr barely reacted mumbling "I see" when I repeated her exact sentence the Dr took notice & carried in a conversation with me.
It is as if drs simply don't listen & tend to believe all women are lying emotionally unstable people who are unable to experience any physical problem. I remember a Dr (one who only suggested therapy) when I mentioned s kidney problem, said it was "incredibly unlikely" which apparently translated to impossible. My sister wrote that Dr a letter & let him know that she was experiencing kidney stones & to please think about that possibility in the future with other young female patients, his response was incredibly rude & defensive. His reply was basically saying my sister's case was incredibly rare & there was no way he could have known there was physically something wrong with her, especially as all the other young women are hysterical nutballs with purely psychosomatic symptoms. Proving his sexist biases & bring unwilling to chance his idiotic, ignorant view. I do wonder how many other young women are left to suffer purely due to neglected by sexist, dismissive doctors.
(Drs being dismissive & not tackling chronic complaints well is a widespread problem which only seems to be getting worse, heck my dad lost an eye due to poor patient care but that is another story. Women are substantially less belived by all professionals & there is a stereotype that women massively complain about a papercut where as men don't want to see the Dr for a broken leg. When in reality many women's physical problems are inaccurately diagnosed a psychological, while female autism & heart attacks are poorly researched & often cimpletly missed. Not to mention that men's reluctance to seek help & be treated with compassion is only worsening men's depression & suicide rates all over the world.)
Safety research is always playing catch-up with technology and often time when things appear to be “safe” they arent.
That is how things work. It is illegal to give people potentially dangerous substances to research its effects (for good reason) so the only possible way to research it is to research people who have already done it, and it takes years before the research can be compiled.
It’s sad the Facebook lady almost decredits the whole video
Lobbying never fails to benefit big companies at the expense of the people's well-being.
What is the ratio of people who have breast implants. And those who have medical issues after implants
~10% for Bii. He says it near the end 24:50
@@macsteezywayz4603 so a lower % then standard prosthetic
But a prosthetic has the dangers readily available, the system refused to inform patients and hide the problems
mitchelle245 everyone I know has had some symptoms. I know myself my mother have. It’s staggering.
@@viktorgabriel2554 arent prosthetics in some degree or more medically necessary though? The risk just seems more justifiable if its necessary as compared to purely cosmetic.
Came cause you had Karissa in the thumbnail.
I was super impressed when she spoke out and glad that I have someone in my life that is such an inspiration
Kinda shocked by the number of complications associated with implants. I've had saline implants for 13 years and haven't had any side effects. My heart goes out to the woman who have suffered.
Well, nearly 5 million women in the US have had implants added to their bodies and, in the US, a low percentage of women have had negative side effects. It is still a scary thought to realize that up to 20% of all women(world wide) have had negative and even life threatening complications from implants. I would hope that one day we, as humans, will learn to accept ourselves as we are and realize that it's a relatively small percentage of people who are vain enough to judge others solely based upon their physical appearance. It is a personal choice and if something makes a person feel better then that's a positive thing, but personally I suggest a puppy 'cause they make you feel great and they love you just the way you are. ;)
It seems to be mostly relegated to ones that rupture or leak.
You’re lucky!
