Breast ImplantIllnessSymptoms & Care

with Dr. Nathan Eberle

A growing number of women report systemic symptoms after breast augmentation that resolve when their implants are removed. If your instinct says something is off, Dr. Eberle will take you seriously and build a treatment plan around your body and your goals.

Overview

Breast Implant Illness Symptoms and Side Effects

Breast augmentation with implants is a highly safe and successful procedure. However, a number of women have reported experiencing what many call breast implant illness, or BII. The condition is believed to be an inflammatory reaction triggered by the implant itself.

Symptoms vary from patient to patient and, in serious cases, can become debilitating. Women with BII are often misdiagnosed, frequently with an autoimmune disease. Knowing the full range of possible symptoms, and consulting an experienced explant surgeon, is essential to getting the right answer.
