A first-person account (from a patient in a video by Robert Whitfield MD) describing long-term discomfort and systemic illness following saline breast implants. The speaker recounts large, painful implants, inability to lie on certain positions, sharp burning pains radiating to the armpit, swollen lymph nodes near axillary incisions, progressive worsening over years, and eventual discovery of 'breast implant illness' about six to seven years after implantation.

Chapters

Breasts were really large. They started to hurt. I did have saline under the implant and they were just never comfortable. I wasn't sure if maybe the size was just too big for my frame, but they were just very uncomfortable all the time. I couldn't lay on my stomach, couldn't lay on my sides. I would always get sharp pains, a lot of burning sensation, mainly in my left breast around the nipple going towards the armpit. And that's where the incisions were through my armpits. And I've always had issues and swollen lymph nodes around the armpit. And I just blew up like a balloon. And years went on, saw all the specialists, did all the things. And I want to say about six or seven years after my implants, I came across breast implant illness. Just doing a lot of research because it came to a point where I was just so sick every day. And I was really good at hiding it because.
