This is a YouTube video titled "BII: Recognizing Breast Implant Illness Symptoms & Patient Stories" created in July 2025. The content features a speaker discussing patient experiences with breast implant illness, highlighting symptoms such as hair loss, skin rashes, joint pain, and pulmonary conditions, and emphasizing the importance of listening to patients' own understanding of their health issues.
Part of it was being minimized or rejected or demeaned by maybe an originating plastic surgeon who told them it was in their head. And then I started to see commonalities amongst patients and it wasn't simply brain fog or symptoms that might mimic more psychiatric type of symptoms. There was genuine hair loss, there were skin rashes, joint pain. I've had patients come in with pulmonary conditions and listening to them and giving them the opportunity to explain what they felt in their gut was going on, I started to operate on them. And frankly, nobody knows your body better than you.
