Breast augmentation issues. What are my options?

If you want us to make an assessment or give you help then you need to tell us what your problem is. If you don’t want to have breast implants you can always opt to have them removed.
Some people believe breast implant illness is a real condition while others believe it is a concept some people create in their mind to justify a variety of reasons not to feel well.
There’s no shortage of people feeling generalized fatigue and difficulty in life so blaming your hardship on the implants may seem like a good fit for some people. There’s no testing or way of documenting breast implant illness most likely because it’s not a real condition.
If people begin to believe that their implants are the cause of all of their physiological and emotional problems then it’s easy to see how people can become obsessed over the implants creating all their problems.
Most legitimate illnesses are verifiable, can be tested and treated but there are some that Romain more as syndromes without the ability to confirm a diagnosis or deliver proper treatment.
Probably the best next step is to follow up with your plastic surgeon or have a few in person second opinion consultations with other providers. Be careful of what you read online. Those who support breast implant illness can lead you down a slippery slope of believing they are evil devices despite having virtually no scientific evidence to support the condition.
Women have had breast implants for well over a half a century and somehow only in the last few years has breast implant illness become I thing. In the 1990s there was a false scare of silicon implant based on irresponsible journalism causing the FDA to take silicone implants off the market. Scientific evidence proved that silicone implants were not leading women to get auto immune disease. The scientific evidence was overwhelmingly supportive that silicone implants were safe and did not have a correlation with auto immune disease. They were put back on the market once the FDA recognized there was no risk to the public as was previously stated by Connie Chan and others in the news media.
Nobody has to have cosmetic surgery and nobody has to have breast implants. When done well the procedure can lead to high patient satisfaction and I suggest discussing your concerns with experienced senior board-certified plastic surgeons who helped guide lots of patients through the decision making process. The placebo effect can be very powerful so again I suggest being careful with what you read online for those who are fear mongering and supporting breast illness implant despite the condition lacking scientific validity.
