In the first part of the film, we get to know Wendi Myers, a single mother who got silicone breast implants which were not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Ms. Myers later referred to them as ”sacks of poison in [her] body” and had them removed due to complications.

Later we meet Denee Dimiceli who was very insecure about her body and the size of her breasts. Due to her insecurity, she decided to get breast augmentation surgery even though she had Carol Ciancutti-Leyva filming her experience and letting her know of the dangers that her doctor didn’t speak to her about.

This documentary lets women know how dangerous silicon implants can be inside the human body. There can be complications such as leaks from the seal, implants bursting, and complications during the surgical procedure. Wendi Myers had her implant surgically removed because it had burst inside her breast tissue, which had caused her complications like; discharge from the nipples, high fevers, breathing problems, slow healing problems, and hair loss.

The literature provided to women by implant surgeons contains medical terms that women may not be familiar with such as scleroderma and fibromyalgia. Scleroderma is a chronic hardening and contraction of the skin and connective tissue, either locally or throughout the body. Fibromyalgia is widespread muscle pain and tenderness.
