I can't help but to think about my sister. She had implants many years ago. I worry for her health as well as all of us trans women.

This is a risk associated primarily with textured implants, which the surgeons at Kaiser NorCal won't use because of this.

In my own case I will be using smooth surface lightly cohesive implants.  The odds are good that these will outlast me!
