How common is breast implant illness in patients with Ideal implants?

The biggest, most scientifically sound study to date shows that more women with BII have saline implants. It also showed that there was no difference between the groups (BII group, non-BII group, and a control group without implants) with the amount of silicone particles, heavy metals, and bacteria in tissue and blood. What they did find is women with BII had a much higher rate of self reported anxiety and/or health anxiety, and were more likely to get medical information in general from the internet. If you are worried about getting BII, just stay off of social media and you'll be fine.

Because there are no tests that can be done to confirm a diagnosis of BII, it is challenging to track. What we do know from studies that have been done is that it is probably not related to implant type. It can occur with saline or silicone implants.
