Episode notes
Breast Implants and Exercise
- Choose subglandular breast implants if you're a bodybuilder to avoid muscle distortion.
- If implants are submuscular, avoid intense chest workouts to prevent them from migrating outward.
Textured Implants and Cancer Risk
- Textured breast implants, while aiding stability, are linked to a rare lymphoma.
- This may be due to bacterial biofilms forming in the textured surface, triggering a chronic immune response.
Breast Implant Illness: Real, Not Myth
- Breast implant illness (BII) is real; 55-85% of women with BII symptoms improve after implant removal.
- The medical community historically dismissed BII, but now acknowledges its potential impact.
