Asked By:olga plukchi in Portland, OR

I am considering breast augmentation. I have a few friends who have gotten implants and are extremely happy. I am 5"4 118 pounds, with a pear shaped body. I never had a full cleavage, always been a 32A. I had a child about a year and a half ago and was breast feeding until about 2 months ago. So as I was doing my research I stumbled upon BII (Breast Implant Illness). How serious is it? How common is it? Are there any risk factors that might contribute to it aside from implants themselves?
