How common is breast implant illness and what can I do to prevent it?

Asked By:_chlowil

I’m getting my boob job in 16 days (yay!), but have been seeing a lot of research lately about breast implant illness that worries me. I know that implants are stronger than they used to be, and it’s safer to get a breast augmentation than it’s been in the past. But how common is breast implant illness? What causes it? Can I do anything to prevent it? Are silicone implants more risky than saline? Thanks for your help!
