I was excited to get implants until I learned about Breast Implant Illness. I’ve done a massive amount of research from credible sources. It is logical that implants are not natural and that the body will see them as a foreign object and thus create an immune response. That’s how the scar tissue “capsule” is formed around the implant. The body could therefore stay in “defense” mode due to this immune reaction, making patients have BII symptoms and develop autoimmune diseases. How is this safe?
Answer: Safe implants Hi, thanks for your interesting question. The patient must have the best information before going to the operating room. As you may know, any surgical procedure has risks, so "safety" depends on many factors such as your health condition, the surgeon's expertise, the quality of the implants, the procedure itself, the post-op process, and the follow-up, among other factors. If you are a good candidate and take care of yourself, you may have safe practice and great results. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to have a complete exam. Good luck!

Answer: Implants Yes, you are correct. However, the stresses and toxins to our body come at us daily in air, water, food, chemicals, cosmetics, drugs, tattoos, and often at work. Recent studies have shown heavy metals concentrated in the capsules, even with saline implants, in women with symptoms of BII. Many heavy metals are found in hair dyes and tattoos, with known harmful chemicals and metals. It still is hard to say that the implants themselves have caused all the issues, but the capsules do appear to collect stuff. If you are worried, don't get implants.
