If she has silicone implants, it could be toxic if they are leaking. I don’t know the symptoms that would be associated with that, but it sounds like either way she should see a doctor as soon as possible. They will likely x ray the implants to make sure they’re intact, and perform tests to determine what’s causing the headaches, hair loss and immune system dysfunction.

Take her to a doctor man. Stop worrying about it and do something about it.

When a silicone gel breast implant breaks, the contents usually leak very slowly. A ruptured silicone gel implant can go completely unnoticed for many years. Sometimes the rupture is discovered only when the implant is removed.

When a silicone implant breaks, one of two things can happen to the leaking silicone gel. One possibility is that the leaking silicone can be contained within the scar tissue capsule, which is the thick layer of scar tissue that naturally builds up around the implant. When this happens, the silicone stays where it is. However, the silicone can leak outside of the scar tissue capsule. When this happens, silicone can migrate to other parts of the body, including the lymph nodes under the arm and major organs such as the lungs where, it is impossible to remove. The longer a woman waits to have a ruptured silicone gel implant removed, the more time the silicone has to travel in her body.

According to the FDA’s research, women with leaking silicone implants are more likely to report fibromyalgia (a painful disorder) or several other painful and debilitating diseases. There is no research on the health risks of broken saline implants.

YES! its exstreamly true call the hospital or and ambulance as this could affect the whole of her immune system do it ASAP! its very rare for them to leak but to be on the safe side check on them go straight to the hospital!!!!!

There is some evidence that silicone implants can be hazardous to your health and especially immune system.

While nothing definative has been proved, as early as 1961, scientists, including those working for Dow Corning which produced silicone implants, believed that they could be responsible for cancers and autoimmune diseases, especially of the joints. As the silicone leaks the body may also try to protect itself by growning new tissue around the leak site, giving lumpy and painful fibroids and hardening in the breast.

Even implant manufacturers at this point are saying that silicone implants need to be replaced about every ten years and if your girlfriend is this concerned, she should definately see her doctor. Her body may well be telling her that something is wrong, but if there is no problem at least an examination should help put her mind at ease.

To find out more, I would recommend a truly amazing book about the silicone implant scandal, Informed Consent by John A. Byrne. When the wife of your company’s ethics comittee is sueing you, you are up a certain creek without a paddle:

This wrenching, compelling personal story raises vital questions for corporate ethics programs. Michigan executive John Swanson, creator and overseer of Dow Corning’s ethics program, faced a moral crisis when his wife, Colleen, began experiencing problems that she attributed to her Dow-manufactured silicone breast implants: severe migraines, debilitating joint and back pain, numbness in her arms and hands and extreme fatigue. In 1991, she underwent removal of the leaking implants, which had been in her chest for 17 years. Her husband then recused himself from Dow’s silicone breast implant business, telling his employers that he would no longer help the company defend itself against the growing onslaught of criticism and lawsuits. He had gradually come to believe that Dow had failed to fully inform women of the known risks and had ignored numerous opportunities to get out of the implant business gracefully. Colleen Swanson settled a lawsuit against Dow Corning out of court in 1993, and her husband, stigmatized at work, retired that same year. Byrne (Whiz Kids) is a writer for Business Week. 75,000 first printing; $80,000 ad/promo; first serial to Business Week; author tour.

Like many other women, Colleen Swanson believed that her silicone breast implants were responsible for the debilitating medical problems that had plagued her for 17 years. But unlike other women, her husband was an executive at Dow Corning, which manufactured the implants. John Swanson was, moreover, the architect of the company’s much-lauded corporate ethics policy. Byrne, a Businessweek journalist, follows the events of the breast implant controversy as he parallels the physical, moral, and emotional dilemmas of the Swansons. Although he focuses on Dow Corning’s liability, he includes the opinions of those who believe that the implants are safe. A fascinating look at a highly complex issue, this is recommended for public and academic libraries.
