Imagine... just for a second you’re in the prime of your life. Your career is skyrocketing, you've married the love of your life, your traveling the world and then you’re starting a family and buying your first home. All the cut out pictures pinned to your goal board are being achieved and life as you know it is an actual dream come true.
Then imagine one-by-one unexplained symptoms of an illness you don’t even know exists start creeping in. At first you're just a little more tired than normal but then you start finding it hard to breath. Your head rings in ungodly pain and you can no longer remember things you thought you’d never forget. Your joints ache, your skin burns, and your hair falls out.
Your health is declining right in front of your eyes and yet MRI’s all come back normal.
Blood work, normal.
Thyroid tests, kidney tests, and numerous meetings with specialists also yield no answers.
On paper you look fine, healthy even.
And yet, daily you experience…
- Sever, chronic fatigue
- Debilitating migraines
- Neck, chest & shoulder pain
- Breast pain and burning
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Back pain
- Brain Fog
- Body itch
- Sinus issues
- Sever digestive Issues
- Flu-like symptoms
- Cognitive dysfunctions
- Chronic inflammation
- Hearing issues
- Insomnia
- Swollen Lymph nodes
- Muscle and joint pain
- Nausea
- Blurry vision
- Sensitivity to sunlight
- Weight gain
- Neuropathies
You feel like you're dying and yet the doctors all tell you you're fine.
This, this is my story.
This happened to me.
And I am not the only one… hundreds of thousands of women are going through this very right now and don’t even know why.
So right about now you’re probably thinking she has to have some kind cancer right?
No… though there are several now linked to the cause of the very illness I’m describing.

Well if it’s not cancer, then it’s an autoimmune disease, right?
Also no… though again there are links. (It it does cause them)
No, what I was suffering from is something far to many doctors and surgeons today still claim isn’t even real...
I was suffering from Breast Implant Illness.
Over the last few decades the interest in breast augmentation has grown rapidly. Today it’s the number one cosmetic procedure performed in the US with an estimated 1 in 25 women having opted for breast implants and that number is only rising.
Something else rising though, is the number of women choosing to have their breast implants removed for health reasons. In fact 47% more women had their implants removed last year than the year before.
So how is it that so many women are getting sick and yet a majority of the medical community refuses to even acknowledge Breast Implant Illness as a legitimate health concern?
Well for starters, breast related work earned plastic surgeons $3.8-BILLION US dollars in 2021 alone and when you see the profit difference between putting implants in vs taking them out it’s clear why the plastic surgery industry would prefer to ignore the facts.
But it’s not just a money issue. PubMed is this US national data bank where all the literature published in medical journals is stored and then able to be accessed by our physicians nation wide. The problem is the number one source for these published articles are from academic institutions. This is a problem because the surgeons working with the women like us who are suffering from Breast Implant Illness are in fact in the private sector and are not required to or even have an easy way to report their findings so a significant percentage of cases have gone unreported for literal decades.
Another challenge we face is that since the toxic ingredients used to make breast implant can range widely from brand to brand and our immunie systems can respond in hundreds of different ways Breast Implant Illness does not effect all of us the same way. Some of us have crippling head aches like I did, while others develop serious autoimmune diseases and with a laundry list of over 50 common symptoms ranging from very mild to absolutely debilitating it has been really, really easy for the doctors that want to, to brush us off and say it’s all in our head.
So I am here today to provide some proof that the only thing about Breast Implant Illness that’s “in our heads” is the toxic heavy metals and chemicals leaching into our tissue and making its way to our brain from the very implants we’ve been told are safe.
Exhibit A:
This is an example of the Allergan’s safety data sheet. Allergan, if you’re unfamiliar, is a popular breast implant manufacturer who now has recalls in place for many of their products do to the clear association they have to specific forms of cancer. So there’s that… But this… this is an example of their safety data sheet where they clearly indicate they use tin in the process of curing the implants.
You’ll notice Platinum is also listed, which is another heavy metal know to cause significant health issues, including many of the ones I experienced personally.
It doesn’t stop there though.
We know breast implants are made with several layers that combine a large number of ingredients including more heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and poisonous materials.
How do we know this you ask? Well… because all these companies are required to produce these safety data sheets and it’s all laid out for the public to see if you know where to look.
Exhibit B:
This is another example of one of these safety data sheets. This time, specific to another popular brand of breast implants called Mentor and as you can see, the list is extensive.
And that’s just the heavy metals. They also have a substantial list of highly toxic chemicals used to create and cure their implants.
[see my other article titled "What Breast Implants Are Really Made Of" for a full list of chemicals and heavy metals organized by brand.]
Now these manufacturers and many medical professionals are arguing that the amount of each of these ingredients in these implants isn’t enough to cause harm but nothing could be further from the truth. If you look into the effects of each of these ingredients on their own, there is and overwhelming amount of evidence that serious harm is not only possible, it’s probable.
And since these heavy metals accumulate most often in the brain and the liver a whole host of symptoms and conditions can develop in as early as a few weeks or after several years from the time someone has implants put in.
So right about now you might be thinking, okay Cheyenne you’ve made a good case for the ingredients inside the implants not being safe but unless they rupture it’s not likely that I would have a problem, right?
I wish that were true, but I can say from personal experience it’s absolutely not. You don’t just have to take my word for it either. I am just one of hundreds of thousands of women who’s implants had no sign of rupture but who’s symptoms went away almost immediately after explant.
It’s also important to mention though that there are hundreds of thousands more of us who’ve already had their implants removed but didn't know the right questions to ask to ensure they found a surgeon skilled enough to help them actually heal from this and consequently they didn’t get to experience the same quick recovery I did.
[see my other article titled "How To Find And Explant Surgeon You Can Trust" for access to a list of the right questions to ask and access to my recommended Master Surgeons List.]
What’s upsetting about this is not only are countless women lives being negatively impacted some with irreparable, life altering damage, but doctors and surgeons have known this is a problem since at least 1995 and yet some how these devices are still available through most plastic surgeons.

So if you believe you could be suffering from breast implant illness please hear me when I say, you are not crazy, you are sick, and you are not alone in this.
After living this myself and helping over 1,000 other women navigate their own explant journeys I have learned that Breast Implant Illness is one of those things where it really does pay to have a friend who’s been there so if you see yourself in my talk today I strongly encourage you to connect with women like me who have been there and who are waiting for you on the other side of this. The healing side of this.
