A personal trainer almost cut her breast implants out after they made her severely ill and contemplated suicide when doctors tried to condemned her to a mental institution because they refused to believe she was sick.
Melissa George from the Gold Coast, in Queensland, is challenging many people's misconception that breast implant illness (BII) isn't a legitimate illness.
The 28-year-old struggled with crippling side effects from her implants for three years, only to be laughed at by doctors.
Ms George said she underwent breast augmentation due to the pressures of looking fit and beautiful as she felt validated by her looks.

'I felt happy and content with my body but also desired to be like other bikini models with larger breasts,' Ms George said.
'It was something I didn't hesitate to do as the sport was all about appearance on stage and I felt bigger boobs would help me.
'I was so into natural health and implants were the only toxic things I allowed into my body.'
She says she struggled with crippling side effects from her implants for three years, only to be laughed at by doctors
Ms George had surgery in February 2015 to have 450CC implants put in which took her from a 32A to a 32DD.
Within months she became constantly fatigued, regardless of how much she slept.
She also became intolerant to many foods and she was taken to hospital on several occasions complaining she couldn't breathe.
Ms George suffered other symptoms which are frequently associated with BII such as body aches, inability to focus, memory loss and hair loss.
However, every test came back normal, much to her dismay.
She spent almost $10,000 on specialists to work out what was wrong but they only prescribed her medication to numb the effects without finding the source.
With the fitness world being such an important part of Ms George's life a breast augmentation felt necessary as she was validated for her looks
Within months of having the implants she became constantly fatigued regardless of how much she slept
Ms George had her implants removed on December 4, 2018, and immediately felt healthier
While having implants, Ms George endured vivid dreams that she was dying and would wake up in tears.
Despite no tests offering an explanation, Ms George was adamant that something was taking over her body.
She was hospitalised for severe anxiety five times and even almost sectioned because doctors refused to believe she was sick.
Ms George said about three months after her breast augmentation she noticed nerve damage and that her breasts were the wrong size.
'I noticed health symptoms around seven months after the operation. A major symptom being the fatigue and crippling anxiety,' she said.
'My anxiety led to panic attacks. No matter what I did and how much I slept, I was always tired.
Despite no tests offering an explanation Ms George was adamant that something was taking over her body
'I never felt refreshed after sleeping. I was sensitive to so many more foods than before my implants.
'I couldn't eat any form of gluten without extreme pain and bloating.
'By the third year of implants, I was in the hospital more times than I can count, unable to breathe and needing to be given oxygen.
'Every scan and test came back normal though.
'In 2018 I was diagnosed with bowel polyps which needed to be removed, and stomach ulcers which needed treating.

'Other symptoms were constant body aches, mood swings, muscle pain and soreness which lasted for weeks after training.
'I couldn't focus, I'd lose interest quickly and forget things. I had no appetite, hair loss and brain fog.'
Ms George said people would ask her why she was sick again but she said that was how she work up each morning and learned to live with it.
'Everyone would ask me why I was sick again, but that was just how I woke up each morning and to me it was normal, so I learned to live with it,' she said.
'The hardest symptom was the anxiety and depression which ruined my life. I was contemplating suicide, and as hard as that is to admit, it's the harsh truth of the illness.
She said about three months after her breast augmentation she said she noticed nerve damage and that the breasts were the wrong size
'I reached a point of total psychosis and I was going insane. I felt like my body was shutting down as the weeks went by and I thought that if no one would do it for me, I would just cut them out myself.
'I had such vivid dreams that I was dying, and I would wake up crying at the thought. My brain and body were taken over by my toxic implants.
'I became scared and before I knew it, I was hospitalised with severe anxiety.'
Ms George came across a Facebook group in 2018 which shared details of BII and allowed women to share their personal experiences with the debilitating illness.
She immediately contacted her surgeon to find out if she could go through with an explant.
Ms George had her implants removed on December 4, 2018, and immediately felt healthier.
She was able to breathe clearer than she had for almost four years, and her anxiety was gone.
'Medical professionals laughed at me and told me it couldn't be my implants. I stand firm that it most definitely was and I'm living proof,' she said.
'I noticed health symptoms around seven months after the operation. A major symptom being the fatigue and crippling anxiety. My anxiety led to panic attacks,' she said
'I first considered explanting after seeing a Facebook group. I read through every woman's post and my life changed because I found hope that I could get better.
'I was fortunate that my surgeon believes in BII and he listened to my every concern. The hospital staff were amazing after my surgery, but what I did find interesting was that a lot of hospital staff had no idea what the illness was, and I was educating them on the issue.
'Some of the effects happened immediately when I woke up from surgery. I could take a deep breath again and my eyes weren't swollen or yellow in colour.
'I cried from happiness when I saw the instant changes in my face.'

She said her anxiety was 'completely gone' and she is no longer had panic attacks, as was able to eat right.
'Looking back gives me goose bumps at how horrific I was feeling and how out of touch with my body I felt,' she said.
'I have always been so strong but suddenly this pain became so crippling that it led to suicidal thoughts.
'While I had implants, I became such a cold and bitter person who turned nasty. It was hard to admit that mentally I wasn't okay.
'I wasn't in control of my emotions or actions a lot of the time. I lost jobs, friends and opportunities due to my lack of interest in anything.
She said her anxiety is 'completely gone' and she is no longer having panic attacks, as well as being able to eat
Ms George said she wanted to raise awareness so women suffering from similar symptoms would seek help.
'Sharing my story on Instagram has helped me to feel confident and happy in my choice and within myself,' she said.
'I'm so humbled to be told I've helped girls not to make the mistake of getting implants.
'I believe all of us women who had explants are the future for this to be a medically recognised illness.
'The human body rejects anything foreign as it's the natural response but so many of us women suffer in silence because we're told it's not our implants making us sick.
'Breast size doesn't make you a better person or more of a woman. It means absolutely nothing but sadly we live in a world of vanity.
'This experience made me love myself more and my blog is there to educate others on breast implant illness.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
