A short conversational transcript (YouTube short) in which an expert describes common symptoms of breast implant illness—fatigue, cognitive symptoms (brain fog/memory loss), joint pain, and skin rashes/eczema (atopic dermatitis)—and explains how implants become walled off by a collagen 'scar capsule' that is porous enough to allow interaction between surrounding tissues and bacterial biofilms, potentially altering the host microbiome.
Skin's the longest organ of the body.
What are the top three symptoms of breast implant illness?
It's always going to be some level of fatigue and, or brain fog or think of like memory loss. And then I always, you know, joint pain is a common one, and then something that's probably thought of infrequently as not a big deal, but skin type rashes or eczema or frequently referred to as atopic dermatitis.
Skin problem.
Yeah. Skin's the longest organ of the body.
Just to finish this up for my own curiosity, so the you're altering breast implants can indirectly alter your microbiome. Because if you're getting these biofilms and colonies, they're obviously can, can they release into your bloodstream and affect your, the rest of your microbiome?
Yeah, so that's. I, I think the direct interaction is the interaction. Think of like the scar capsule, which is your collagen that forms around any device. Place hip, knee, breast, dental implant, whatever it is, your body immediately walls it off and forms a collagen sac around it. Now that is not a bomb shelter. It's not impervious. It's not going to withstand a nuclear attack. It's more like your nana quilted something and you pull it apart and you can look right through it. Now that allows the tissues to interact with the bacterial contaminants.
