Australian model Puccas (Karissa Pukas) believes her breast implant has caused a series of illnesses.
The 27-year-old underwent breast augmentation in 2014, but she removed the prosthesis this year due to a series of complications.
After her breast augmentation, Pukas said, she had a bunch of problems: poor eyesight, acne, chronic pain, sweating, hair loss, digestive problems and body odor.
In a video uploaded to video website, Puccas details her symptoms.
"I feel blurred from time to time, I think I'm a old woman, and I have digestive problems with pain in my hip and back, and I don't understand why I felt so old and weak at the age of 26."
"all these things make me feel like I'm living in the body of a 90-year-old," she said. "Professionals keep telling me I'm doing the right thing, my test is back to normal, but I'm still feeling weak."
She soon had severe body odor and other terrible symptoms.
At the same time, she also had very bad night sweats, the bed was wet, and she trembled all over.
She said: "I have pain all over my body, adrenal fatigue, brain fog, my urine smells strange, I feel dizzy, my hair is falling off, and I start to prick adult acne." There are also problems with intestinal health, with chronic diarrhoea, joint pain, and inexplicability on a daily basis. "
She later learned that her body's autoimmune system reacted to her foreign body, the breast implant, and tried to protect herself.
So she decided to remove the implant.
"I never thought about getting the implants out before, but the more I did, the more I knew about the problem," she said. "all the signs point to me getting them out. That's what I'm doing."
Puccas is not the only woman who has had an adverse reaction to breast implants.
Nowotny (Emma Novotny), from New York, spent $ one hundred thousand on breast implants in 2012, when she was 21.
Three months after the operation, she realized something was wrong. Nowotny said she began to develop "food intolerance" symptoms. Soon after, she developed migraines, sinus infections, night sweats and monthly severe tonsillitis.
Earlier this year, she went to a local general practitioner and was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome four months after the operation.
"I didn't associate these symptoms with the implants, and even if I flashed through my head, I wouldn't have linked them, because I wanted a breast job."
"but in the three years after my surgery, things started to get really bad. It's definitely like hell. "
Nowotny says she hasn't had her menstruation for some time and has eczema and enlarged lymph nodes.
"I was in a bodybuilding contest, but it even reached a point where I couldn't even lift weights."
In 2016, she began to suspect that her physical condition was related to implants.
At first, doctors dismissed Nowotny's doubts about the complications caused by the implant.
"I took a variety of tests, such as heavy metals and blood tests," she said.
"my body is attacking myself, I have eczema on my hands, and I have abnormal levels of mercury in my body. I couldn't get up for a couple of days-I was in deep pain, and it got me into a deeper depression. "
"I became a person I didn't know, and I tried to kill myself. On the outside, I may be nice to people, but I think I'm going crazy. "
Although her implant did not break, Nowotny believes silicone and other toxins are slowly being released from the implant's pores, poisoning her and causing "breast implant disease."
