Breast Implant Illness

Breast Implant Illness is not currently a formally recognised medical diagnosis, but some women report symptoms including fatigue, joint pain, brain fog and skin changes that they attribute to their implants. Many find their symptoms improve after explant surgery.

Miss Dua will listen to your symptoms and concerns. She will examine your breasts and discuss the explant surgery options available.

Treatment involves explant surgery with en-bloc capsulectomy. Miss Dua may recommend auto-augmentation or an uplift to maintain breast shape.

Recovery is typically one to two weeks.
