| description | The use of silicone breast implants has a history of over 60 years. In recent years, specific health issues among implant wearers have repeatedly come into focus. The term “breast implant illness” has been circulating in scientific literature and on social media for several years. It describes a cluster of up to 60 different symptoms. The present results of an online survey conducted within a clinic’s patient population of the last 8 years show, among other things, the evolution of 8 reported symptoms before and after breast implant removal. In the comparison before and after, there is a significant reduction in the intensity of symptoms after implant removal. A causal relationship with the removal of the implants is to be presumed. |
