Breast Implant Illness (BII): Update and Everything You Need to Know [PLASTIC SURGEON EXPLAINS]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มี.ค. 2024
- We are diving into the contentious topic of breast implant illness (BII) today.
Breast implant illness has become an extremely divisive topic within plastic surgery. Some plastic surgeons argue that BII is nothing more than a psychological phenomenon, while others adamantly claim that all breast implants are inherently toxic and believe they should be banned.
As we examine these contrasting opinions, we will also explore the middle ground and discuss the scientific insights surrounding BII.

I love the fact that doctors are also TH-camrs nowadays
Me too! Finally a reason to go on TH-cam and get some great information.
They tell you to replace implants after ten years. They DONT tell you how much more expensive that will be, or the amount of scarring that will result. I walked around with 27 yr old, double lumen (DOW) implants. My health deteriorated. Upon explant, found put the right implant was ruptured. How long? No idea. My breast implants looked perfect. I now suffer from. Hashimoto, Lupus, and chronic pain. It's NOT WORTH IT!
When did you explant? Are you seeing a naturopath? I explanted 4 months ago and my healing has been slow 😢
@CookieBob2004 I explanted in 2017. there were some immediate changes, ie my skin, but it seemed the damage was done. I am happy you got those toxic bags out of ur body. Happy healing ♡
Was your explant $$$?
@@serenadevon 3x the cost of the implants
Edit: not including the cost of a second surgery b/c the doc failed to remove the capsule first time around
Insurance did pay some of mine, and the Dr also paid me back some from accepting payment from my insurance company. This was all after explanting. The capsular contracture and ruptured implants were both on the list that insurance did pay for. I had one capsular contracture The Dr said "both implants were ruptured and the silicone had invaded my chestwall and cavity, and it was a mess" Unfortunately, I am still sick and continue to detox. However I am better! Also, If I hadn't investigated, I don't think I would have received a penny from either one! But, I do believe if I hadn't explanted I wouldn't have survived all the illnesses these toxic bags have created! I am better, but still not good. I don't feel like I'm dying everyday anymore and the rheumatoid arthritis is pretty much all gone! These are huge improvements! Ladies, the capsules have to come out! Leaving them in is irresponsible! Drs need to learn updated information! Lives can be sparred and children deserve to have healthy mothers! Go to "breast implant illness and healing by nicole" on fb. All kinds of studies and at least 250,000 members who have been searching for answers for all their illnesses as well! Bii is absolutely real!!!
I developed BII. I thought it was rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. I went to Mayo Clinic, got a full rheumatology and neurology workup and then went to the gastroenterologist and had an EGD/colonoscopy. All of these things were negative! So, I got my implants out 3-12-24. Within 7 days, my face no longer looked swollen, my blood pressure normalized, and my energy went through the roof. I still have joint pain, but I am using an oral binder and castor oil and detoxing from the silicone. Thankfully, I am on the way to recovery and will never again fall for implants or any other surgery to "enhance" my look. I do not have any sadness about my implants being gone, only relief.
I have the same problem pls suggest
I have read the research. The research suggest it is caused by bacteria forming colony within the capsule of the breast implant. Gradually leaking out the bacteria causing chronic inflammation overtime. The bacteria forms a biofilm and this is their stronghold against your immune system. This is why capsular contractual happens. Your body can't win and decides to seal off your entire implant altogether. Once the scar tissue is thick enough, if it ever EXPLODES. You gone. You will end up like Wendy William, the bacteria released will destroy you.
You are saying everything that I have gone through. And in the last 2 years have gotten worse. I’m getting mine done. And I found out by my surgeon and a few others that I would totally trust. To remove the entire implant and capsule and they all said no drain. I don’t care about the bigger scar. Every thing toxic implant capsule and tissue has to all come out at the same time. I know girls from my FB that did not get the capsule all out at same time with implants they never recovered fully. IV and detox is all things that my doctors will do for me where I’m going they do all the after surgery recovery and testing. I had enough with these doctors that don’t know what they are talking sbout. And above all still do implants. Do one or the other they should be band that’s how I feel. I would not go to this doctor
I am removing mine this Thursday.
This video is reckless, to say the least! He hasn't done a deep dive to get the real truth! I'm extremely disappointed to hear what he's saying :(
Dr Youn, please do a video about breast implant maintenance! I don’t think enough people understand that breast implants are not a “one and done” thing! I also suspect some doctors are not educating their patients about implant upkeep and replacement, or about the risks of failing to do so. And I’d love to know what the most recent research says about replacing your implants.
I don’t have any, but I’ve always been under the impression that you get breast implants and it’s a one and done surgery. If that’s not the case I would definitely watch a video on it if he makes one
Implant maintenance???? Yes, we need to be educated properly.
I believe there is no such thing as Breast Implant Maintenance because they are not lifetime devices. It’s either you explant or don’t get it at all.
@@CookieBob2004or you explant and replace, with whatever capsule revisions or lifting is needed. But more women need to know about it. And start saving up early!
I just had implants placed and my surgeon told me they are to be replaced every 10 yrs. One needs to getting imaging done such as an MRI 3 yrs within placement and then every 2 yrs thereafter. If i want them removed i can opt to get a lift.
I have all these symptoms and no implants! I feel ripped off 😂
I hear this, too! It's not just implants that can cause these symptoms.
Hey, that just means if you want implants you may as well get them 😂😂😂
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣
same!!! It's just the toxic bucket analogy.... for some the implants are the thing that makes the bucket overflow and create symptoms, or not even that... the age that women tend to show up with autoimmune issues is 30's... and that's seemingly the most common age these symptoms of BII occur.
Praise God! My sister-in-law had all of these symptoms. She refused to remove her implants. Two years after getting them she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She lived eight years after that and she passed.
I had been explanted 10 days ago and it was my best decision in life so far so happy, and feeling better ❤
. What an honest up front information you gave . I dont have implants ,but what you discused in your talk was an eye opener . I live in Australia and have followed your channel for a while .
Got mine at 19, I’m 40 now, the fatigue and brain fog have been awful lately for sure. Thank you Dr appreciate your help 💜🦄💜
My symptoms immediately improved. Pain and rashes were gone after implants, capsule and scar tissue were removed. I do have some indentation but so very happy and feel great 😊
May I ask please how long you had your implants in for and if you needed to have a reconstruction/ reshape?
@@VrajaVilasini Great question. I had mine in for seven years but started feeling ill at about year 4. I didn’t know what it was then. My primary doctor said it wasn’t their problem because my issues were related to a cosmetic surgery. My implants were small but I did have a keyhole reconstructive lift (surgeon recommendation) which healed beautifully. I do occasionally feel like my chest muscles are a bit tender if I do any heavy lifting. My surgery took place May 2019.
Thankyou for this video, I had implants 6 months and started my BII journey and did not know about it. Seven years later I came down with Lupus and was in hospital for 6 days. The meds made me sicker, I found holistic way of antinflammatory eating worked for me and finally stopped meds and sunscreen and less stress made a huge difference.
Did you explant ?
Honesty looks great in scrubs!! Go Dr. Youn!! Thank you for sharing your professional experience and knowledge with us.
Thank you for this information. You're the only doctor that dont think self interess . "Chapeau"
My mom has big boobs from being pregnant with my bro and I; at 34 years of age celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Paris Hilton I don't mind having small boobs.
Women shouldn't feel less than for being flat chested.
I feel like women are either too fat or have flat chests. You can’t win either way.
I'm 43 and have never been happier with my small perky boobs, even after breastfeeding two children in my 30s, they still look great! I have no stretch marks and people think I'm a lot younger than I am.
When I want to fill out a top, I simply slip in a pair of breast forms that I found for relatively cheap on amazon, they look like real boobs LOL😅 and make me look like I have huge implants - but they just slip into a bra. They look very realistic as I can adjust my natural boobs inside of them to give the look of deep cleavage, and because all that is exposed as my real boob, no one is aware.
Amen; these big boobs are a burden!
I feel like my mom definitely had this before she passed away
Thank you for your excellent review of current research in this field.
Something not addressed in your discussion is the contribution of patient age. The long list of potential BII symptoms overlaps considerably with perimenopausal symptoms - perhaps this and other conditions linked to autonomic dysregulation should also be excluded as a potential cause
I had all the symptoms after Covid vaccination without any implant
I’m having my implants taken out next week. I’ve suffered for 4 years and been to countless Dr and no one could figure out why I’m having autoimmune symptoms, fatigue, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, etc. Thanks to videos like this I saw a plastic surgeon who believes in BII and hopefully o will be on my way to healing next week. I’ve had my implants for 9 years and I was perfectly fine until 4 years ago and the symptoms start small and gradually get worse like you’re being poisoned slowly. It’s horrible.
After removing what was the result pls tell us same situation i have
@@Care915 I’ll definitely let you know, my surgery is tomorrow!!
I explanted last week and I feel amazing! All of my symptoms are gone!! I got off my blood pressure medicine two days ago! I lost 13 lbs within a week after surgery and I feel like I could run a marathon now. I feel wonderful! So glad I got rid of those toxic implants.
@@Jet.ski.lover.13is the explant expensive?
@@serenadevon it cost twice as much as the implant did but I also got a breast lift.
Waww didn’t know about that, thank you very much doctor for taking the time to do these videos. Very informative and life saving god bless you from France ❤
Would be great if you did a video about loose inner thigh skin and what can be done without and with surgery many thanks 😊
I had multiple symptoms of BII along with weird lymph node issues and breast pain so I opted to have them removed. They were the Mentor gel implants and they were taken en bloc which I didn’t mind since a mastopexy was necessary along with it. I have minimal scarring thankfully and it’s taken nearly two years for the majority of my symptoms to resolve. I look great and have an even better appreciation for my natural shape now, whereas I didn’t when I first got implants. Additionally, my skin and hair have thanked me a million times over by a clear complexion and thicker hair. I appreciate cosmetic procedures and the skill it takes to perform these surgeries but I wish people ( myself included) would really slow down and think a little longer about getting jobs done
Do you mind me asking if your lymph node issues resolved? I have swollen nodes in my armpit :(
@@katherinespencer8482 sorry it took so long, yes, the swelling is completely gone since I had the implants removed. I can't tell you how much better I feel & I wish you well on your journey. God bless!
They are criminals. And hope they will pay for it… still clearing toxicity from my body… Thank you for speaking out
I *strongly* feel like Wendy Williams is suffering from this. I get the sense that a good chunk of her current health issues would go away if she had her implants removed.
she has been diagnosed with a form of dementia which is most probably caused by exessive alcohol consumtion.
I agree! Unfortunately she loves her implants too much to take them out.
Any doc worth their salts would’ve told her to get them out already
@@Tahiha doctors generally don't believe this is a thing
I have thought that as well!
Omg I know whats fucking wrong with me.
I decided to go on TH-cam tonight to see if women have had symptoms of being so tired, forgetting important things, and all the symptoms that have been mentioned in this article . I’ve had so many blood tests done to see what the hell is wrong with me.
I’m making an appointment tomorrow to see my doctor and let her know what I’ve found.
This video isn't accurate! Capsules have to come out!!! Please see the studies I've posted on here!
@@bethpoore2685this video is literally from a doctor, damn! Stop spreading shits, this is real thing, women are suffering just for some stupid beauty standarts and are nearly dying just from implants!
@@bethpoore2685what are capsules and how do they form
If you’re in the uk you’re doctor won’t acknowledge BII I’ve been going to them about it for over 12 years and they think I’m a hypochondriac! Good luck
Thank you so much for the information in this video, this really helped me feel so much more informed. I was just wondering what you think about having a fat transfer done at the same time as removal and what the risks / benefits of this are?
Dr Youn a well known fitness trainer in my area had BII, worst symptoms were severe pain and immobility in her hip. A ortho physio (not 100% sure the title) FINALLY connected it after years and years of pain. Massage along severe scar tissue down her side helped but she removed them and it was night and day improvement.
I can't speak to BII because I don't have implants. I would if I could afford them. 😂 But yeah, as you were reading off symptoms I was like that's 100% an autoimmune issue. I spent a year battling it and unfortunately it was a guessing game for my Dr's trying to figure out what was triggering it.
ETA- Thank you for your continued honesty on this topic.
Yeah auto immune defense against the two plastics sewn inside the body 🤷🏼♀️ seems obvious
These symptoms are very similar to those of hormonal contraceptives.
They can be with ensure IUD's. Watch "The Bleeding Edge" It's horrible what some people will do to others for money 🤑
I had breast implants for 7yrs. Pretty much had all of those symptoms and was told Im crazy. I gained so much weight and couldn’t lose it until a year ago when I finally had them removed. I still have some issues but I overall feel better and have lost all the weight
Guess what, it doesn’t require a doctor’s degree to understand putting two huge foreign objects in your breast will have a huge health impact on your body. Sometimes you notice it, sometimes you don’t. You either accept the risk of serious complications, or don’t do it. Modern medicine still has so many unknowns, breasts implant is a serious surgery that carries risk of health problems. Doesn’t matter what the study say it’s a basic fact of where the science is today. Patients need to understand what they are getting into.
AMEN I COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m a week post op (necessary surgery) and I can never ever understand how anyone could willingly fly go on an operating table and allow themselves to be sliced open for vanity. Life saving surgery is scary enough, how can anyone willingly have something out in their body that they don’t need? The risks are horrendous not to mention laying around recovering- and for what???? Crazy crazy world
I’ve had mine for 4yrs now and I started noticing this year. The joint pain all over my body. I felt it was age (I’m 39) I’m pretty active and average weight I feel super swollen at times. I think my only symptom is joint pain. I’m contemplating taking them out :(
Just to clarify that I understood correctly re: how you recommend the drain process. You stated only set to suction for 30 minutes, twice a day, correct? If so, then the rest of the time I just leave the bulb open/inflated? I just got explanted 10 hours ago and wanted to make sure I understood. I would greatly any advice. So very grateful to you and your selflessness 🙏
I’ve had first consultation to explant,due for another next week then fingers crossed surgery this summer👍
Will you do en bloc or total capsulectomies?
Can you tell us about $$?
PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY REMOVE THE CAPSULE AND SURROUNDING TISSUE AS WELL IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
I had my silicone implants removed and the rheumatoid arthritis I developed is almost completely gone! My hands tell the story! I have before and after pictures that are shocking!
Although, second thought here, can we just acknowledge the fact that most of the time if a woman's tests results are all normal the only "diagnosis" we usually get is anxiety? Like, there have been women who died of cancer because it was supposedly anxiety or just not real.
Is it just silicone implants or gel too?
One of the reasons why I decided against breast implants.
Anyt recommendations on a doctor that specialize in the Miami or Fort Lauderdale area?
I've had my implants for 12 years. I've had chronic migraines for over 3 years and currently my heart rate is increasing with the simplest daily task. The cardiologist did a cardiac panel and an inflammatory CSR blood work to check inflammation. The numbers for inflammation is elevated. Any advice?
Omg you’re the best…… I wish you can do my explant…thankbyouuuuu
Thank you for this, Dr. Youn. I wonder if having had no Breast Implant Illness before implant rupture means I can safely replace instead of a total explant? I had implant surgery for disfigured/tubular boobs 17 yrs ago and had zero problems until one ruptured approximately 2 yrs ago during an accident. I was told my symptoms in the last year were just severe early menopause symptoms, even a new tinnitus. Now my ultrasound shows one implant severely ruptured and disintegrating with capsule hardly visible anymore. Am scheduled for a dual replacement recommended by my gyn, but am undecided.
JESSICA PLEASE DON'T DO IT! MY DAUGHTER WAS FINE WITH HER FIRST SET BUT HER SURGEON AT THE TIME TOLD HER WITHIN A 10 YEAR PERIOD YOU NEED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AND EVERY 10 YEARS FROM THEN ON. SHE WENT IN TO HAVE HER NEW ONE'S PUT IN AND IN NO MORE THEN A DEW MONTHS WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO LOSE HER. HER FATIGUE AND DIZZY SPELLS WERE SO BAD SHE WAS BED RIIDEN A LOT OF THE TIME AND THEN HER ARMS AND LEGS WERE NUMB AND WHEN SHE WOULD STAND UP TO WALK EVEN JUST TO THE BATHROOM SHE WOULD LOSE HER BALANCE AND BE TRIPPING OVER HERSELF AND IT ALL FINALLY CAME TO AHEAD WHEN SHE HAD TESTING DONE AND WAS TOLD SHE WAAS EXHIBITING SIGNS OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND AT THAT POINT AS THIN AS A RAIL YOU COULD ALMOST SNAP HER ARM THEY WERE LIKE STICKS. THANK THE GOOD LORD HER HUSBAND STARTED RESEARCHING THE BEST SURGEON THAT COULD TAKE THE IMPLANT THE CAPSULE AND THE SURROUNDING TISSUE OUT . HE WAS OUT OF STATE AND HE BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT. WAFTER SURGERY SLOWLY SHE WAS GETTING BACK TO HERSELF THE ONLY THING SHE IS STILL REGAINING IN GER SHORT TERM MEMORY DISORDER. IF YOU LOOK AT HER NOW YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOW JUST HOW SERIOUSLY ILL SHE WAS.
I just removed my 20 yr silicone implants Dr also recommended I take the capsule out. I wasn’t sick but they were very large I wanted to downsize my implants by 300cc I was told I had to remove them first then give my body a break. I regret taking the capsule out it’s been a hard recovery I was very healthy prior to this 😢 shockingly my breast Implant were intact no leaking at all. I’ve gone from DD to A cup it’s been hard. I’m going to have to come see you when I’m ready to implant again.
Thank you for sharing this, I'm getting surgery in a couple of months and it seems like I can't find any positive stories about breast augmentation 😞 I know a lot of women get BII but what about the ones that don't 😊
I had surgery lipo 360 25 days post op and my confidence went up so i can imagine having implants confidence go up then u have to take them out is mentally horrible even tho u know they bad for your health
Yes, I don't know how I'm going to mentally prepare myself. I'm removing mine next month, after 2 years of having implants my health is a mess, symptoms I've never had in my life such as anxiety, panic attack, heart palpitations, daily dizziness, vestibular disorder, feeling woozy, and vertigo episodes 5x a month! Horrible spinning sensation. I got them in 2018 and as of now I want my health back!
@@mariaparis7188 awww I'm so sorry but I bet u will do anything to get better again I'm really sorry your going threw this I hope u have a successful removal boo
So which one wins? The mental horror but save your health, or the confidence boost?
This is what kept me unwilling to believe BII was real. 9 years of sickness that just kept snowballing. Who knew after finally removing them in desperation that I would actually feel sexier, younger, cuter and more authentic. It’s 2 years post removal and my hair has finally stopped falling out. I was on deaths door for vanity. My emotional rock bottom was forgetting my daughters middle name but physically I was a wreck for years. I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time in denial when the nagging voice it was BII first started whispering to me.
My boyfriend just break up with me while watching this now just because I got educated that breast implant is not good and I decided not to do it but he wanted me to do a breast implant.
He sounds like an asshole
Hello Dr, I´ve been seeing your videos and I'd really appreciate if you could tell me your medical opinion. I'm a 27yr old woman with IBS (just now started cutting gluten and lactose off my diet and see improvements already) and I also have vitiligo on my skin (very small but it's there). I've been wanting implants ever since i can remember but all the research on breast implant illness scares me. I've been to a first consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon about getting implants and I mentioned the IBS and vitiligo but the doctor said there would be no problem, and there's no possible correlation or anything to be worried about. What's your medical opinion please? Thank you so much!
What do you think of subfascial implants?
I am a breast cancer patient who had bilateral mascetomy in 2022. I couldn't have reconstruction at the same time of my mascetomy but was told it was fine to wait. Now I'm trying to decide which surgery to have...diep flap which is a long surgery and longer recovery time or get implants. I already have brain fog and joint pain and all the other things from the cancer treatments. I want to choose which is best for me in the long run. I still have 3 children at home and don't want to be down 8 weeks or longer. Any advice?
What about inflammatory markers like HS-CRP, IL-6, etc etc etc? Could it be that the implants are causing low grade inflammation? The symptoms you mentioned seem like they could be inflammation related. Then it could also be the case that anyone who has any kind of implant could suffer from this kind of thing. I think with the breast implants, the risks could be higher as well because they move around a lot. I guess they have already checked for the biomarkers of autoimmune disease type reaction?...
Inflammation markers were my thought, too. It should be routinely done prior to implantation as a baseline.
I agree with you. I have inflammation as it is. I would not know the difference. I am looking at getting implants because I had a mastectomy.
I assumed this, too, considering all symptoms are auto immune related, the body is reacting to it as a foreign body. Making seem like people with auto immune and ibs disorders are advised to not have breasts implants as the immune system is already over active.
My CSR is elevated and my heart rate currently is high with the minimum activity. I'm desperate at this point
@@carmencorleto1479 Are you drinking enough water prior to walking? Also do you have palpitations? I have palpitations on a regular bases but do not have any heart issues. The doctor told me I need to take magnesium daily. So I did more research and found a magnesium for the heart called Heart Calm by Vital Biological. I started at 3 a day but after a couple weeks I took only 2 a day or one day based on how I feel.
My husband does not drink enough water so when we are out and forgets to hydrate it causes his heart to go up to 140 plus. I also tell him and it is back my science you can not hydrate all at once, you have to do it throughout the day. I wish you the best.
Thank you, thank you. I wonder if immunoglobulin testing would show something. I'm a nurse and have spent time in the ER, MedSurg, ICU and all over the hospital. The body has an immune response to surgery and prosthetics of all kinds from fillers and injections, Stryker joints, screws, plates, and implants of all kinds: breast, pacemakers, defibrillators. Believe the patients.
This definitely seems to be a similar situation. Maybe the studies on other types of impants can shed light on the breast impant illness as well.
Wait. Whoa…..I’m allergic to surgical steel/titanium, etc. and have had to hv plates and screws removed. So, have you seen someone with my allergies have BII??
@@loriscott3290 I haven't had a patient yet with both surgical metal implants and breast implants yet.
Question 🙋♀️: In your practice, do you see the size of the implant being a contributing factor of BII or rupturing of the implants?
My implants were not big enough and I only gained one cup from a small B to a full C, but I still got BII. Explanted in dec but I still have a lot of symptoms going on😢
I got big one and remove due to pain and capsule. And change small.... the pain come back after 2 years . Now it's my 4th year and I am done suffering. Removing in 2 days
@@nerissamartinez3669 I hope you have a speedy recovery and all your symptoms go away soon ❤
When I had saline i never had issues then I got silicone 2016 & seriously fatigue , joint pain, low libido and the list goes on 😢 I am so confused
Every woman that I know that's had breast implants (and they are all over fifty now so they've had them long term) has experienced BII. And all of them have issues with hair thinning. IMO breast implants hurt women's health.
MUCH MORE SERIOUS ISSUES THEN HAIR THINNING WOMEN ARE DYING FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had my breast implants removed 4 years ago for a rash, that I still have and I have started all BII symptoms. It’s perimenopause.
@@cassandragraves5341 I WAS ONLY IN MY 20'S WHEN I BECAME SERIOUSLY ILL AND DIAGNOSED WITH 2 AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are in a study and you start having symptoms - they kick you out from a study - so you do not get paid. So people tend to hide that they feel bad. Either way, it's all about the money.
Thanks for this video! As an LMT I had a client present with several strange symptoms and they ultimately found that this is what it was. The company that made the original implants paid to have them removed and offered her a different material. It sounded to her like they knew this was happening but were just waiting to see who would complain and step in afterwards. 🤦♀️
Please expound. What company was this?
@@loriscott3290 this part, I do not know - unfortunately. I just know that she was sick for years, dismissed, and misdiagnosed a few times before she started asking the right questions/demanding answers.
How do you feel about the new implants that came out made of dissolvable sutures so it develops its own scar tissue in the breast so it feels entirely real and isn't an implant basically more like a skeleton for your body to heal around and through as it dissolves? Would love to hear your thoughts on this and see if you could get a study started with them
What about hernia mesh implants? Sounds eerily familiar.
Not to mention what it does to our children we conceive whilst having implants. My daughter had joint and health issues from birth. Took years to put the link together. She’s now 26 and has thyroid problems, osteoarthritis, joint hyper mobility to name a few. I live with the guilt daily
You didn’t know. It’s not your fault. We are human. Sending love
@@saraw1359 thank you for your kind words ❤️ I was crushed when I realised but time is healing us both. My fear was that she would hate me forever but she doesn’t and she understands. I will never do anything to my body again including botox or fillers, they too have toxins.
I’m getting implants in october (I’m so excited) so it’s good for me to know about breast implant illness and what the signs are if I get the illness.

Diagnosed with Schrögren + systemic lupus after falling very ill in 2017 (implants placed in 2009) although I was in very good health before. I had them removed the next week with total capsulectomy. I hope to cure these autoimmune diseases never diagnosed before. Thank you for your video Doctor from France where we have no informations about BII.
Could it be caused by microplastic?
ANYTHING FOREIGN THAT IS PUT IN THE BODY WILL CAUSE A REACTION FOR SOME REASON I THINK THAT AT LEAST IN MY CASES MY IMMUNE SYSTEM NEVER GOT USED TO IT
Seriously, look at what implants and their shells are made of.
All those signs are also present at menopause and are usually treated with HRT?
NO YOU ARE WRONG I WAS DIAGNOSE WITH 2 SERIOUS AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE AT THE AGE OF 22, JUST 1 YEAR AFTER MY IMPLANTS AND 5 OTHER ILLNESSES AFTER THAT!!!!!!!!!
Having the feeling of a tie belt around your chest is not menopause symptoms. I have that feeling since I got them due to cancer. I am taking put in 2 days.
What’s your point?
Present in SOME women. And if that’s the case you’re not at fault. However PUTTING something in your body that causes those symptoms is totally different.
Dr Youn please do you still perform breast augmentation surgery ? I want you To work on me I’m A Transgender 🏳️⚧️
all the above, need an x plant but cant afford it. they are 18 years old.....
Thanks for letting me know I don't have anything to worry about if I do ever get impants. I have most of those symptoms anyway 😂
They are getting worse if you get BII
Same here but I'm scared if things get worse socially with my ibd
Are gummy bear implants less likely to cause you breast implant illness???
@The Holistic Plastic Surgery: I've had my implants for 39 years with zero problems.
What brand of implants did you get?
@@jackielopez8048 I have no idea, sorry. I just know they are smooth and double-encased.
And I thought they only have a shelf life of 10-15 years 🤔

Alcohol, drugs, and a poor diet is also toxic for your body.
BUT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WILL NOT BE DESTROYED LIKE IT WILL BE ATTACKING YOUR IMPLANTS!
What percentage of people who get breast implants end up with BII?
IN THE DOW CORNING CASE IN 1980'S THERE WERE 1 MILLION WOMEN THAT WERE PART OF THE LAWSUIT!
Dr Youn have you heard of these new 3D printed scaffold implants out of dissolvable suture material??? A scaffold in a breast implant shape is 3d printed and inserted into the breast pocket then injected with the patients own fat, it generates suglandular breast tissue and collagen while it dissolves over the next 2 years, leaving only the newly formed breast tissue. They are currently just done with human trials and it is very promising as it bridges the gap between HAVING to have an implant to get a certain size and shape yet risk BII and getting a fat transfer to forego the implant yet be limited with volume and having an unpredictable shape. THIS would absolutely be the road I'd rather take. Unfortunately I'm assuming it will take FOREVER to get at a market level and being 37, by the time it becomes as readily available as an implantation or a fat transfer I'm not sure I'd still care enough to even want to go thru it all 😅
More details:
3D bio-printing which combines cells with bio-material scaffolds offers an exciting technology with significant applications in the field of tissue engineering.
The scaffold supports the proliferation of human breast epithelial cells and abundant vascularity and granulation tissue throughout the implant, especially through the holes in the scaffold, and the appearance of new soft tissue.
The scaffold can be customized in size and shape according to the individualized needs of the patient; the degradation time and scaffold strength can be adjusted; and the mesh pore structure of the implant provides access for fat injection at the implantation site as desired after the operation. Moreover, this kind of breast scaffold can be “printed” relatively simply and at a low cost, which can not only meet the needs of different patients after breast conserving surgery, but also be suitable for large-scale clinical implementation.
PS: it has been shown that "seeded" breast-shaped scaffolds with human umbilical cord perivascular cells/human umbilical vein endothelial cells after 6 weeks of culturing and when implanting these composite cells impregnated scaffolds subcutaneously into athymic nude rats for 24 weeks, the increase in new adipose tissue was dramatic: the ratio of adipose to overall tissue area increased from 37.17 to 62.30%!!! I thought it was a very interesting part of the study 😮
PPS: when it comes to the regular-schmegular breast augmentation surgery, have you ever heard of surgeons injecting BOTOX in the muscle??? It supposedly reduces the chest muscles spasms to almost zero, providing an easier recovery, especially when done using the rapid recovery technique, a Keller funnel as well as numbing of the pocket. I'm surprised it doesn't often seem to be offered to patients when booking surgery when it looks like it is a game changer recovery-wise!!!!
I have these symptoms without implants 😢
I have 2 friends who worry about this while they lay about, sipping on their cocktails all hours, never getting sunshine. It’s the FOOD, water, environment and probably your boobies. I have a bone marrow disease, exposure to benzenes as a child most likely. Poisons and petroleum don’t belong in th body. I know this & I’m still getting my face fully toxed tomorrow 😆
I want implants after my double mastectomy.
I hate the fake boobas. Like - excuse me for a second, I want to look normal in bed for my husband without a bra on.
Is one better than the other?
I swear that my skin cancer was caused by my implants.
I believe that if you’re going to get your implants removed you should get the capsule out. It is where is accumulating toxins and byproducts of the implants. The other benefit is that it can be sent to pathology. You wouldn’t want to take a risk of removing your implants and leave a tissue saturated with toxins. Is your health!! Don’t take the risk of removing just the implants and leave toxins that will have more scar tissue growing over the capsule. If you think that you have breast implant illness this is not the time to save money and go with someone inexperienced that also implant knowing that it can make woman sick. I want someone experienced and that also has integrity. You can’t be with God and also with the devil. Not a very holistic approach in this website when you also implant woman to make more money, knowing that it causes woman to get very sick. Think
This is what happened to Wendy Williams. 20 Year Old implant, can you imagine how toxic that plastic bag have become?
What capsule?
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Removing both in 2 days
WHY ARE ALL DISEASES ALWAYS JUST IN OUR HEADS?? I'm gonna need those lazy ahh doctors to get a new catchphrase, they're pathetic.
The money they make and their loyalty to big pharma and special interest is too strong
These symptoms sound a lot like menopause
WOMEN ARE DYING FROM LUPUS, SCLERODERMA ETC, FROM IMPLANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a medical doctor telling you these are BII symptoms…you want to argue with facts because?
It’s funny cause I have half these symptoms on a daily basis and I don’t even have implants 😂😂 I’ll probably be fine getting an augmentation
Your symptoms could intensify with implants. Don’t do it! 😩 I’m 4 mos post explant and I’m still sick from implants - losing all my hair and achy joints 😢
Do you get Botox or fillers? They are also toxic
