Autoimmune Response to Implant
Description
An autoimmune response to an implant, often referred to as Breast Implant Illness (BII), silicone implant illness, or silicone toxicity, can lead to a range of symptoms that many people describe as an “allergic response.” Common signs include persistent fatigue, joint and muscle pain, brain fog, rashes, dry skin, hair loss, and chronic inflammation, as the immune system reacts to the presence of materials like silicone or saline in the body. These symptoms may appear soon after surgery or develop years later, impacting overall quality of life. If you are experiencing unexplained health issues after receiving any type of implant, it may be due to your body’s immune or inflammatory reaction—sometimes called human adjuvant disease, ASIA syndrome, or systemic symptoms associated with breast implants (SSBI). Early recognition and expert evaluation are key to managing and potentially reversing these symptoms for a healthier, more comfortable life.
