Some women with breast implants complain of pain, weight loss, headaches and cognitive impairment.

"I was told when I had them 17 years ago that they were the safest on the market, and that was why I chose them," one recipient told Global News.

Canadian women are complaining of symptoms they say are connected to their breast implants.

Health Canada intends to remove textured breast implants from the Canadian market unless the manufacturer can prove they're safe.
