While breast implants are designed to enhance physical appearance or reconstruct breast tissue, they can sometimes lead to unintended health complications. For some individuals, the presence of implants may trigger a range of symptoms known as breast implant illness (BII), including fatigue, joint pain, and cognitive issues. These complications can occur as the body responds to foreign materials, potentially exacerbating pre-existing health conditions or causing new ones.
The impact of breast implants on overall health can be significant. That is why understanding the potential risks is important for those considering breast implants or experiencing symptoms that may be related to them.
This episode with our patient, Allie Janszen, focuses on breast implant illness and her removal journey as she shares her personal experiences with the health challenges related to breast implants and how their implant removal led to significant improvements in her well-being.
