Breast Implants Almost Killed Woman, Left Half Body Numb For Years

A woman from Gold Coast, Australia, warned women against breast implants after the “death bags” almost killed her.

In a Facebook post Monday, Nat Alexander said she got her breast implants six years ago and that they “looked perfect” initially. However, three years later, she was hospitalized when the “whole left side of my face and body went numb and practically lost capacity to use this side of my body.”

“I saw every expert under the sun. Doctors, naturopaths, specialists, therapists and so many more. I had blood drawn, a spinal tap, tests ran, countless dollars spent, all to be told I was perfectly healthy, but I knew something was not right,” she wrote.

Soon after, she developed symptoms including extreme fatigue, brain fog and difficulty in concentrating. Slowly the symptoms got worse and Alexander started suffering from panic attacks, depression, burning and tingling sensations in the extremities and chronic headaches.

“I constantly experienced nausea, insomnia, an irritated bladder, vertigo, dry hair and skin, a decreased libido, memory loss, food intolerances, inflammation, swollen/tender lymph nodes, vertigo, severe hormone imbalance/mood swings, UTIs & the list goes on. I was neither too emotional, nor too dramatic, I was sick and I knew it,” she wrote.

The symptoms became unbearable at one point and Alexander started contemplating suicide.

“I felt like I was in constant flight or fight mode and as the years went on, the symptoms got worse and things were becoming unbearable to the point that I was contemplating suicide, because If this was the quality of life I was going to have for the rest of my life then I didn’t want it,” she wrote.

However, when she was about to give up, she came across a friend’s social media post about removal of breast implants. She did her research and found out thousands of girls were suffering from the same symptoms as her.

On Monday, Alexander underwent a surgery to remove the implants.

“Today I was wheeled into a surgery that would change my life in so many ways. I had a complete capsulectomy explant and had the toxic foreign death bags removed from my body. As soon as I woke up and took a deep breath it felt like I hadn’t been able to breathe properly in six years! and let me tell you now, I feel just as confident, sexy, happy & loved today just as much as I felt yesterday,” she wrote.

Hoping that her story would change the mind of some women considering “going to extremes to change their body,” Alexander wrote, “I recommend you do the research I didn’t do.I wish I loved myself more because you are good enough, just the way you are. Please if you are suffering don’t ignore the symptoms.”
