1. Local woman warns against risks of breast implants

   The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says around 550,000 women last year received breast implants.

   One Gooding woman is speaking out, wishing she had never had the procedure.

   Complications connected to breast implants are rare, but it happens.

   According to the FDA those complications can even lead to death.

   Kristen Taylor loves coming to the Gooding pool with her children.

   “Now I'm unable to go in the pool again because I've got stitches again,” said Taylor.

   In March of 2016 she received breast implants and since then she's had 17 surgeries stemming from fibrocystic disease and an added cancer scare.

   “I had no idea what was going on, I was told I had to have a mastectomy and had to have both breasts removed,” said Taylor.

   A constant emotional pain she must deal with.

   “I still get the comments right now, ‘look at you, looks like a shark bit you,’” said Taylor.

   A rare occurrence, this Gooding woman never thought it would happen to her.

   “And this all started from just one little incident of knowing that I made the wrong choice,” said Taylor.

   Especially since she tells me she didn't know about the danger.

   “But there is no warning about cancer there is no warning in side effects, except for smoking,” said Taylor.

   She wants others to learn from her experience.

   “I didn't think before or ask the right questions before my implant were put in,” said Taylor.

   Living in a big city or a small town, the risk still exists.

   “Implants are killing women, look it up, research it,” said Taylor.
