My story is on the site on this page: http://www.implants.clic.net/tony/USA/Testimony/index.html

*Please note: I am a young woman who became very ill from "safe" breast implants. I am not a doctor nor am I trying to end all plastic surgery. I just want to reach out to the public and say "Hey - this happened to me & I wish someone had come out and told their story to me so that I would have known the real sicks of plastic surgery." If I had known that this could happen, I would've never gotten them.
