Shortness of breath is mild, compared to the symptoms some women have. Many have lost everything by the time they make the connection! . . . There are very few doctors who understand . .. and fewer who know how to remove breast implants properly. With improper removal, a woman may never get well.

Even sadder are the children who are sick because they were born to women with breast implants. . . skin, joint, cognitive, and digestive problems. The FDA knows this - but they chose to look the other way. This is far worse than lead paint on toys!

Yes, I experienced shortness of breath along with a whole host of other symptoms shortly after getting breast implants.  It turned out to be the tip of the iceberg. Check out this group:

I am having shortness of breath. I just had saline implants put in about 5 days ago. Have you found out any more about this? Did yours resolve on its own?

My girlfriend did not have that side effect.  She did a latissimus flap.   might be easier than a tummy tuck
