What Is Breast Implant Illness?


Breast implant disease (BII) is a term that some women and doctors use to refer to a wide range of symptoms that can develop after reconstruction or cosmetic augmentation with breast implants. It is also sometimes referred to as autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome, which is induced by adjuvant (ASIA). BII can occur with any type of breast implant, with silicone gel-filled, saline-filled, smooth surfaces, textured surfaces, round or teardrop-shaped.

BII affects each person in a unique way. Symptoms may include:


  • Joint and muscle aches
  • Extreme tiredness
  • Memory and concentration problems
  • Breathing problem
  • Sleep disturbance
  • Rashes and skin problems
  • Dry mouth and dry eyes
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • Headache
  • hair fall

Gastrointestinal problems
Symptoms may appear at any time after transplant surgery - some people develop symptoms immediately, while some develop them years later.

Many symptoms of BII are associated with autoimmune and connective tissue disorders, such as lupus, rheumatism, and scleroderma. Some people who have BII also have a specific autoimmune or connective tissue disorder, but many do not.

In many cases, but not all cases, surgery to remove breast implants improves or completely resolves the symptoms of BII.

Number of cases of breast implant illness
To date, there haven’t been any studies that looked at the number of women with breast implants who develop BII. More women have been reporting BII symptoms to doctors and to the FDA during the last few years, which may be because social media groups and media coverage helped to raise awareness of the condition. Thousands of women have joined online communities related to breast implant illness. For example, the Breast Implant in Delhi and Healing by Nicole Facebook group currently has more than 100,000 members.
