Is there a correlation between filler-bivariant swelling reaction and breast implant illness?

passionfruityJan 27, 2023
I myself have had late-onset inflammatory response from the Moderna bivariant. The swelling occurs every couple of weeks, and this has happened for the past 4 months.

Is the swelling reaction related to an autoimmune response just like BII? Thank you.
