These conditions appear within a few months to several years following surgery, and seem to more often follow a secondary surgery like revision or exchange. But the exact cause is difficult to pin down because other conditions like Lyme disease and toxic mold exposure can cause similar symptoms. Using PCR testing (instead of traditional CLIA-based lab testing), Dr. Rob discovered that over 60% of the breast implants he removed all had one thing in common.

]]> Episode 42: ENCORE: What the Lab Actually Found On My BII Patient’s Breast Implants https://breast-implant-illness.fireside.fm/42 eb8d42ad-60cb-479a-8f78-d3335dbb112d Thu, 30 Nov 2023 03:00:00 -0500 Robert Whitfield MD full Robert Whitfield MD 15:20 no Dr. Rob tells the story of a patient whose labs were normal but her health wasn’t, and how this case led him to analyze implants in a new way (and the shocking findings). So many women with breast implants experience the same symptoms of extreme fatigue, general malaise, and chronic aches and pains, yet their tests routinely come back with nothing. In this second episode of our series about Breast Implant Illness, Dr. Rob describes how PCR testing (the same that detects COVID-19) delivers the long-needed answers that finally put BII sufferers on the road to recovery.
