How common is breast implant illness?

Asked By:GG2021 in New York, NY

I'm considering getting breast implants and I'm trying to be as informed as possible about any risks of the procedure. It's difficult to get objective information about "breast implant illness" since it's not currently a medical diagnosis but a constellation of symptoms women are reporting. I did join the facebook group for breast implant illness. I'm shocked how many members it has (120k+) and how horrible the stories are. Some doctors will not implant anymore. Are BI a ticking time bomb?
