Breast Implant Illness

Description

Breast Implant Illness (BII), also known as breast implant disease, Systemic Symptoms Associated with Breast Implants (SSBI), silicone illness, or ASIA (Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants), refers to a variety of whole-body symptoms linked to breast implants—regardless of brand, material, or surgery type. Women with BII commonly report fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, anxiety, hair loss, depression, and skin rashes, among many other issues affecting daily life. These systemic symptoms can sometimes appear soon after surgery or develop years later, leading many to describe BII as an “invisible disease” because most standard medical tests cannot clearly explain or diagnose these symptoms. While the direct connection between breast implants and these widespread health concerns is still being studied, increasing numbers of patients share their experiences online, raising awareness and encouraging more research. If you or someone you know is experiencing persistent health problems after breast augmentation, understanding Breast Implant Illness and its common symptoms is an important first step in seeking proper care and determining the best path toward healing.
