This was my PS's way of describing how long the saline implants would last. NOT! I was completely disabled 5 years later. Then again, to give him some credit, after 8 years of having the implants and finding out just why I was so ill, I attempted suicide so I would say that my PS could have been right about that statement! Suicide and implants is another discussion entirely but very real and its not happening because the person would have done it anyway but because of the chemicals in the implants that affect the entire body causing (in my case) severe depression.

Misleading, right?

Gee, I wonder what implant manufacturers know about keeping saline fresh forever that Bausch and Lomb doesn't know!

They really are trying to sugar-coat it aren't they? Implants last 16 years...sometimes more??? HAHAHAHAHA! What a joke that is! MOST saline implants rupture within 5 years! Mine only lasted 3 years! I can't even believe that they'd even suggest a woman leave her leaking/degrading/ruptured implants in her body! Are you kidding me! Dr. Placik obviously has NO IDEA what he is talking about! Wow!
