It is also sometimes referred to as autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA). BII can occur with any type of breast implant, including silicone gel-filled, saline-filled, smooth surface, textured surface, round, or teardrop-shaped.BII impacts each individual in a unique way. Symptoms can include:joint and muscle painchronic fatiguememory and concentration problemsbreathing problemssleep disturbancerashes and skin problemsdry mouth and dry eyesanxietydepressionheadacheshair lossgastrointestinal problemsThe symptoms can appear any time after implant surgery — some people develop symptoms immediately, while some develop them years later.A lot of the symptoms of BII are associated with autoimmune and connective tissue disorders, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma. Some people who have BII also get diagnosed with a specific autoimmune or connective tissue disorder, but many do not.In many, but not all cases, surgery to remove the breast implants improves or completely resolves the BII symptoms.Find Haley on Instagram: @ittybittytittygoods
