There is no scientifically proven link between breast implants and BIL - thats not to say it isnt true, but they have done copious amounts of research on this and not found a link.

This has totally rained on my surgery excitement parade!! Hey @kittykat74 as The Fox says, there is no scientific evidence linking implants and BIL. There are woman who truly believe they have that, but there is no medical evidence confirming this is the case. Not sure what articles you have, but they may not be evidence based - more opinion. see these two articles for proper research related evidence https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ and here's an article I found searching for breast plant illnesses that was published last year: https://insights.ovid.com/crossref?an=00006534-201711000-00061 Good luck with your surgery in two weeks - you'll find you get loads of support from women on this forum kittykat74 and I HaveBoobs 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
