Breast Implant Illness (BII)

The Breast Implant Illness Centers of Excellence

Established by Dr. Landon Pryor, a triple-board certified plastic surgeon, BII Centers of Excellence help patients facing breast implant illness find providers who will take their concerns seriously, deliver quality care, and help them achieve their healthiest and most fulfilling lives.

Breast Implant Illness (BII) is a term used to describe a range of symptoms that some individuals experience after getting breast implants. While not officially recognized as a medical diagnosis, many patients report issues such as fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and autoimmune-like symptoms. BII can occur with both silicone and saline implants and may be related to an inflammatory or immune system response to the implants.

How to Fix It: Total Capsulectomy Surgery

The most effective treatment for BII is Total Capsulectomy, a surgical procedure that involves removing both the breast implants and the surrounding scar tissue (capsule). This is important because some believe that the capsule may harbor toxins, silicone leakage, or bacteria contributing to symptoms.

  • En Bloc Capsulectomy: This method removes the implant and capsule as one unit, preventing exposure to any leaked substances.
  • Standard Total Capsulectomy: The surgeon removes the capsule separately if en bloc removal isn’t possible.
  • Recovery: Most patients see symptom relief within weeks to months after surgery, though healing times vary.
