Ive wanted a breast augmentation for ages and I know what confidence it would give me however I can't help but be very concerned about breast implant illness, my great fear is having them in and becoming sick afterwards or my body not accepting them. I've also read how bacteria during the time of surgery can cause a constant low grade infection in your body and make you sick which some believe is the cause for implant illness. I just feel torn as it would be a huge confidence boost.

Answer: Breast implant illness Hello, and thank you for your question. You have valid concerns, but I can rest assure you that breast implant illness is very rare. I have been in practice for 25 years and I have maybe taken 2 patients implants out for what they thought was breast implant illness. Once the implants were removed, they still had the symptoms they had prior. I am not saying Breast implant illness is not a thing but it's a very fine grey area. Again, this is something that is very rare and just be sure to do your homework and find a board-certified surgeon with great reviews and beautiful before and after photos.

Answer: Breast implant illness Every surgery comes with some degree of risk, however the chance of developing breast implant illness after breast augmentation is rare. During surgery I take exceptional care including multiple interventions to keep the risk of infection as low as possible. Ultimately breast augmentation is an elective procedure and you have to decide for yourself if the benefits outweigh the risks. I've included a video below that actually discusses removal of implants, but it also talks about Breast Implant Illness so I hope you will find it helpful.

Answer: Surgery We live in an environment that is full of toxic chemicals in foods, water, air, personal care products, cleaning products, and chemicals in flooring, paint, and fabrics. Sterile technique, pre and post washing, and antibiotics are used to prevent infection. After surgery, you will need antibiotics prior to each dental visit, perhaps gyn visits, and with infections. Many women with "breast implant illness" do not improve even when the implants are removed. This shows that their problems are probably related to other sources than implants. this si elective surgery, but every surgery has risks. Ask yourself if you will be much happier with breast implants than without. Avoid large implants and consider saline or smooth gel implants only.

Answer: Breast implant illness Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, you have an alternative to breast augmentation. You can undergo a breast lift with fat transfers. The symptoms of breast implant illness may occur in women who have never had breast implants as well.
