How do I discuss Breast Implant Illness with My Doctor?

Breast Implant Illness (BII), a term used to describe a collection of symptoms that some women experience after undergoing breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery with implants, remains a condition that’s not yet widely acknowledged by many in the medical field although there are many women suffering from it.

Many doctors and surgeons may not be well-versed in BII, which can result in misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis, leaving patients struggling to find solutions to their health concerns. That’s why it’s vital to explore more about breast implant illness and dive deep into this topic to take control of your health and wellness. Consider this episode a valuable resource for you to improve how to discuss breast implant illness with your doctor or patients.

Speeding up the healing process

In some of my previous episodes, I’ve emphasized how inflammation badly impacts the body. It must be noted that there’s a way to speed up the healing process to reverse aging. That’s why we deem it important to reduce inflammation, especially for women with breast implant illness.

In fact, one of the most important pre-explant surgery steps that we do is to get rid of inflammation in the body as much as possible. The good news is that we offer a special inflammation support bundle to give you everything you need to expedite the reduction of inflammation. Don't let inflammation hold you back and make sure to visit https://drrobssolutions.com/ for your recovery needs.

Transplanting a kidney

Dr. Joseph Murray, a Nobel Prize-winning surgeon, achieved a historic milestone by conducting a kidney transplant from one Siamese twin to another. This procedure required meticulous technical expertise in the operating room.

The key challenges included the safe removal of the kidney from one twin and its successful transplantation into the other without causing harm. Moreover, the process involved connecting the kidney to the recipient's circulatory and urinary systems by connecting an artery, vein, and the ureter (the tube responsible for urine drainage).

The success of this procedure hinged on the twins being genetically identical, which ensured that their immune systems did not recognize each other's organs as foreign. However, this raises the question of how a cadaver kidney, obtained from a non-identical donor, can be transplanted. To address this, tissue typing and blood typing are crucial in finding the best possible match.

Once a suitable cadaver donor kidney is found, protecting it from the recipient's immune system becomes paramount. This is accomplished through medication, with cyclosporine A and steroids. These medications, when administered in the correct doses, effectively suppress the immune response, allowing the transplanted kidney to heal and begin functioning.

The point here is that it doesn't matter what type of implant it is. When a foreign body is placed in your body, your body tries to get rid of it. Most of the time, there’s a formation of scar tissue whereas in some instances, the body’s inflammatory response either gets worse or does not shut down. This mostly happens when someone’s ability to detoxify genetically is challenged by various factors such as their lifestyle, and environment, and can also happen when someone tolerates the inflammation for so long.
How to reduce inflammation?

As an innovator in the field of cosmetic surgery, I consider it my priority to give my patients the best possible outcomes and to restore their health as quickly as possible. The best way to do this is to consistently encourage all my patients to actively work on reducing inflammation in their bodies.

It is through diet and supplementation that we get the best results for this. To make this approach accessible to everyone, I've introduced an exclusive Inflammation Support Bundle which is designed to provide optimal results through a combination of dietary adjustments and targeted supplementation.

I understand that many individuals struggle with "pill fatigue," which makes it challenging to consume numerous supplements daily. To address this concern, I've incorporated liposomal versions of essential vitamins and minerals within the bundle. This innovation ensures that you experience full supplement absorption in your mouth without the need to pass through your gut first.

By incorporating these supplements into your daily health routine, you'll start feeling better and actively combat chronic inflammation. I can't wait for you to experience the transformative effects of this bundle on your well-being.

Always remember that taking control of your health and wellness is the main key to breast implant illness recovery. If you're looking for additional resources and support for your journey to recovery, be sure to visit our online store.
