The Dangers Of Loose Silicone Injections: My Own Personal Horror Story

[Dana Lane]

Some people are still doing this. I could NEVER put something like that into my body.

isis1469: I know how it is. I had an opportunity to kind of speed things up by going the not-so-safe, not-so-legal route. Luckily I had my friends here to talk some sense into me and make me realize that I would end up regretting saying yes to such an opportunity. It was one of the hardest things to say no, and I was pissed off at myself for awhile afterwards but I know it was absolutely the right thing to do.

well, need-less-to-say, she came back with the silicone and guess what I did....................  I told her I had changed my mind  and requested my initial 500 back,  which believe it or not she gave it back, all 500$. 

I am usually a very impulsive person and what I grudgingly admit is that I need to have patience  BUT even though, according to this forum, i have done the right thing, it feels terrible. A big let down.

You can be proud of yourself for having done the right thing. Have patience. You don't want to ruin your two girls with silicone injections.

And I think it's very fair of her to have given you the complete sum back.

Calpernia Addams has put a bit of information together about this subject in her blog:

A couple of years ago, Lynn Conway had very gruesome photos on her website about silicone injections in breasts gone wrong. Complete mastectomies necessary... Don't find them any more. But I think that's really not what a woman wants to happen to her body.

Good for you Iris.  Put that money aside for a proper Breast Augmentation.

In February 2008 I flew from England to Tunisia (north Africa  ) to get my gummy bears...top quality french ones with a 10 year recommended life..  $2700 plus about $500 for the ten day holiday included.
