From Make Me Heal
Singer and songwriter Stevie Nicks had
breast implants done in 1976, but then later removed them due to health problems caused by silicone. In a radio interview, she discussed them: "Sure. In 1976, I had breast implants, they were silicone. And, you know, for several many years, it was cool. But then, it wasn't cool, it was like, I definitely knew that something was wrong. For a long long time. And I went to a ton of different doctors, and had, you know, the ultrasounds and all the different ways that they have to see through your skin, and see if something is broken. And everybody swore to me, "they are not broken, you do not need to do this, this is a big operation, this is, you know, put you down for a month," it's like, and my mother said to me, "they are broken. Go in and take them out." So I did, and they were broken. And they were all through my bloodstream. I had Epsteins-Barr, solid, for two solid years. And I had to go in for acupuncture three times a week, which was very expensive, and go and see a doctor three times a week, vitamin therapy... Well, it was terrible, you know, getting over it. It was terrible. And I even went down to Mexico to, to see somebody that was really doing a lot with looking at your blood, with all that silicone and stuff going through it. It's amazing, it goes totally into your blood, even the silicone sac, it's a silicone sac, it may not be silicone in the sac, but it is silicone. So it like, it's just so dangerous, and you know what? Then you have to go back in and be all, you will have to take them out. You can just plan on it. And also, save some money, so you'll have that $5,000 to $7,000 you'll need to have, to have that reconstructive surgery, when you take them out. Because they will have to come out, eventually."
Nicks's most famous songs include "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," "Edge of Seventeen," and "Talk to Me". Nicks was the singer for the rock band Fleetwood Mac from 1975-2001. Her birthname is Stephanie Lynn Nicks.
