Illness related to breast augmentation?

Q: “So ive been reading a lot of posts about girls who have become ill after getting their boobs done. I know many surgeons will disagree and say that their symptoms/illness is coming from something else rather than their implants. I want silicone implants and im scared of getting ill with my implants. Im asian 20 5โ€™2 110 lbs and i want 375ccโ€™s. My body is extremely sensitive as well but idk if that has anything to do with the illness. How rare is this BA related illness?”

Dr. Yovinoโ€™s Answer: As you have probably already seen, thereโ€™s no evidence that silicone breast implants cause “illness”. They may be associated with pain that is typically localized to the breast especially if significant capsular contracture occurs. Thankfully this is rare.
