You’re Not Alone in This Journey: Understanding Breast Implant Illness
Breast implant illness represents a collection of health symptoms reported by some patients who have breast implants. Although the medical community hasn’t formally recognized BII as a distinct diagnosis, awareness and understanding of this condition continue to grow among plastic surgeons and healthcare professionals.
Symptoms can develop months or even years after implantation, affecting multiple body systems and significantly impacting quality of life. The condition manifests differently for each patient, making diagnosis and treatment highly individualized.
Signs Your Body May Be Asking for Help
Recognizing breast implant illness symptoms is the first step toward recovery. Symptoms often overlap with autoimmune diseases, making proper evaluation essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Patients in our Tampa practice commonly describe the following experiences:
- Chronic fatigue and exhaustion
- Cognitive difficulties, like difficulty concentrating or memory loss
- Joint and muscle pain
- Sleep disturbances, including insomnia

Your Recovery Journey With Us
Explantation surgery involves removing breast implants and, when appropriate, the surrounding capsular tissue. Dr. Soler performs this procedure while you’re under general anesthesia, carefully extracting implants through strategic incisions designed to minimize scarring.
Recovery involves managing discomfort with prescribed medications, following wound care instructions and gradually resuming normal activities. Dr. Soler provides comprehensive follow-up care to monitor healing and address any concerns throughout your recovery journey.
