Two women discuss breast implant illness, including a clinical finding that bacterial contamination appears in 29% of cases. One speaker has implants herself and moved past her initial anxiety to help others understand the health risks involved in their decisions.
29% of the time.
So 29% of the time we find this bacterial contamination. And so I'm going to take it a step further.
I was not at first really thrilled to have the conversation and I'm just going to be really transparent in saying that because I myself this topic is obviously based around breast implants and breast implant illness. I have breast implants. And you know, when I first started hearing about the bii, I dug really deep into it because I'm all about optimizing my health. And so it caused me a little anxiety. It caused this fear of oh my gosh, do I have bii and now what? And so I was a I was a little fearful to have the conversation because I didn't want that anxiety to come back in. But I've released that and I'm excited to now have the conversation because I think the more information, you know, the better you're equipped to address your health in the best way possible.
