Breast
implant illness

Breast Implant Illness (BII) is a variety of painful conditions that occur in patients after the placement of silicone implants. First symptoms may occur immediately after the implantation or may present several years after the surgery.

The exact causes of BII are not known, but some factors may contribute:

— Autoimmune and/or inflammatory response to the synthetic material;

— Bacterial contamination of the implant surface;

— Response to surgical intervention.

BII manifests with more than 50 different symptoms.

The most common of these include:

The variety of symptoms makes diagnosing BII quite challenging. However, if you feel you have one or more of these symptoms, discuss their possible connection to the presence of synthetic materials in your body with your physician.

BII can be treated by removing the implants and the capsule. In some cases, surgery for breast reconstruction may be required. Most symptoms related to BII resolve immediately after the removal of the synthetic materials. The remaining symptoms typically resolve within 30 days after the surgery. Currently, there are no technologies that can predict the potential occurrence of BII in individual patients.

Our team places great importance on the safety of our aesthetic procedures. We use implants from the world’s leading manufacturers, and we pay close attention to pre-surgical diagnostics to eliminate most issues during the preparation phase.

If you are experiencing symptoms of BII, we are here to help you.

We will remove the synthetic materials carefully, preserving the aesthetics of the breast. Often, the breast looks worse after implant removal than it did before augmentation surgery.

Our experience in reconstructive surgery allows us to perform autologous reconstruction, which looks esthetically pleasing and is maximally safe.

BII is caused by the body’s reaction to foreign material, so using the patient’s own tissues minimizes these risks. Schedule an in-person or online consultation, and we will find the most suitable and safe treatment for you.
