Here's what you must know about the health risks and extensive symptoms of breast implant illness, as well as removal solutions. Dr. Rob Whitfield discusses the often-overlooked health risks associated with breast implants. Women who experience breast implant illness have symptoms like brain fog, memory loss, fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, and many more.

While there’s not a definitive cause of breast implant illness, a common theory points to an immune system response. Breast implants in the body can lead to persistent foreign body reactions, silicone toxicity, heavy metal exposure, biofilm development around the implants, and free radical/oxidative damage. Over time, these reactions weaken the immune system and cause health symptoms from minor to severe. Your autoimmune response, endocrine system, thyroid & adrenals, and gut all could be affected.

Dr. Rob’s an Austin-based plastic surgeon who’s cared for hundreds of women with breast implant illness, performs breast explants, and teaches other surgeons about this illness and treatment methods. In his years of experience in breast reconstruction for cancer patients, microsurgery, and a deep understanding of the body's reactions to foreign materials, he's developed a unique insight into the world of breast implant illness.
