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

January 27, 2023
Asked By:passionfruity in Boston, MA

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. I do not have breast implants, but am interested in them if I can figure out what's my personal risk for BII. I'm wondering if there is a correlation with breast implant illness? Is the swelling reaction related to an autoimmune response just like BII? Thank you.
