A short conversational YouTube video (Dec 5, 2024) with Robert Whitfield MD discussing whether breast implants cause autoimmune diseases. In this excerpt Dr. Whitfield states that, in his experience, autoimmune diagnoses typically appear after patients have had breast implants (i.e., the autoimmune diseases are reported to pop up following implantation).

Questions this video answers

After — Dr. Whitfield says autoimmune diseases are reported to develop following breast implantation.

Are most people with breast implant illness, Are they diagnosed with an autoimmune disease before and then chose to get breast implants anyway, or are the autoimmune diseases popping up after the breast implants?
Yeah, it's the latter. They're. They're told they're developing some kind of autoimmune disease.
Okay.
I do see some people that did get implants who had an autoimmune disorder like Sjogren's or something, which I think just sets them up for more problems.
