How Do I Know if There is a Problem with My Breast Implants?
Some patients report concerns of breast implant illness (BII) and have ruled out other causes for their symptoms and want to undergo explant surgery to see if the their symptoms will improve. Other concerns include pain, deformity, desire to be natural, asymmetry, malposition, and simply not being happy with the way their breasts look or feel. If you’re worried about a problem with your breast implants, give your plastic surgeon a call and head into their office for a visit. Some breast implant complications will require testing or imaging to diagnose. Other issues are easy to spot externally. For example, a leaky saline implant will cause the breast to deflate and capsular contracture will cause breast hardening, and in severe cases, changes to breast shape.
