The Naked Truth About Breast Implants – From Harm to Healing by Dr. Susan Kolb

This book is a testament to two important journeys of discovery which merge in the person of Susan E. Kolb, M.D.

The first is the recognition and definition of an important, modern, and environmentally caused new disease, which according to the rules of naming medical disorders is best called siliconosis. Dr. Kolb has made major contributions to this recognition and is one of a limited number of physicians qualified to bring these matters to more general attention. She prefers the equivalent term, silicone implant disease, which conveys to the afflicted patient a more direct statement of cause and effect.

The second journey is even more remarkable: Dr. Susan Kolb experienced the same adverse effects from her own silicone based mammary implants that impacted literally hundreds of thousands of other women. Read more…

RH: “I have never met anyone like Dr. Susan Kolb. By the time I found Dr. Kolb, I had been sick for more than 5 years & had visited a multitude of doctors in different fields…no one could tell me why my health continued to deteriorate. By some miracle, my husband found Dr. Kolb on the web & we traveled from Oregon to Atlanta to see her. By the time I saw her, I had been using a wheelchair for more 6 months & could no longer hold my head up for more than a few minutes at a time. She knew immediately that my problem stemmed from the faulty/leaking breast implants that I had received following a bi-lateral mastectomy for breast cancer 14 years earlier. My implants & surrounding tissue had become infected & the toxic stew they were leaking was coursing through my body. Within the week, Dr. Kolb had removed my implants & started me on my road to recovery. Living in Oregon, I have only been able to return to Atlanta once in the 4 years since my surgery, but I still consider Dr. Kolb to be MY doctor. She continues to play an active role in my health & treatment. I have never met a doctor who encouraged her patients to email them. The remarkable thing is that I can normally expect a response from her within 24 to 48 hours! She never makes me feel that I am an intrusion or that she doesn’t have time to respond to my questions…even 4 years after my surgery! Dr. Kolb is a pioneer in her field & she is MY life-saver. There is no doubt in my mind that she saved my life. The fact that she continues to answer my questions & play a role in my health years after my surgery is amazing & refreshing. I would highly recommend Dr. Susan Kolb without hesitation to anyone.”

BT: “One year ago, today, I had my breast implants explanted and a breast lift. I thank you, with all my heart, for a successful surgery and post surgery. Thank you for truly caring, and answering all my questions, big and small, and getting me through a C Diff infection. I wish you many more years of helping people, like me, to a healthier life. You are in my daily prayers. You truly are a dedicated surgeon and an amazing human being. THANK YOU, DR. KOLB!!!”

RH: “I know I may sound like a broken record, but I continue to be amazed at the care & personal responses that I receive from my doctor in Atlanta, DrSusan E Kolb. It’s been over 2 years since my surgery (my life saving surgery), yet she continues to respond to my emails & answer each question. I honestly don’t know when she has time to sleep. I sent her a question this morning expecting a response later this week. When Danny checked emails tonight, there was already a response from her. In order to understand how remarkable this is, you have to know that not only does she operate a thriving medical center in Atlanta, she literally treats patients from all over the world, she hosts a weekly radio broadcast, she has written books & has made multiple TV appearances. The very fact that this talented surgeon agreed to see me, is amazing, but the fact that 2 years after my surgery she continues to treat & communicate with me (through email, no less) absolutely blows my mind. I hope there is a special place in heaven for this remarkable lady. She is my life-saver in every sense if the word.”

Grateful Patient: “I’ve waited to write my review because I was initially so sick from the candida fungus, mold and silicone toxins that I had to give myself some time to get my feet back under me. I am beyond pleased that I somehow found my way to Atlanta and Dr Susan Kolb and her office. While Dr Julian Gordon did my explant surgery, Dr Kolb has been there every step of the way to help heal my body from over 15 years of being slowly poisoned by first saline implants that were moldy, leaked into my body in 2006 and were replaced with silicone (although I didn’t discover they were moldy until I read the surgical report in 2011 when trying to figure out why I was so sick – the implanting surgeon never told me he found mold). After years of primary, specialists and surgeons telling me there was nothing wrong with me – Dr Kolb and her work finally gave me some answers. It was easy to make the decision to schedule with her. My enbloc explant was done on 4/30/15. Dr Kolb emailed and communicated with me prior to my even scheduling with her office and has always responded to my email inquiries promptly then and since then. Dr Gordon helped me to feel at ease and responded to emailed inquiries as well. While getting the implants out was the first step I knew I had a ways to go and can happily report that at 4 months post explant, with Dr Kolbs expert help and guidance, I feel I have a chance at life after 15 years of going from active and healthy to completely disabled, unable to work and feeling each day as though I was dying. I will forever be grateful for Dr Kolb’s work to reveal the truth about breast implants, help women heal from this devastating illness and can highly recommend her and Dr Gordon as experts in this field.”
