Breast Implant Illness (BII) is a controversial condition characterized by a broad spectrum of systemic symptoms reported by patients with breast implants, leading to an increase in explantation procedures. Its mechanisms remain unclear, with hypotheses including immune responses, microbial colonization, and psychological factors. This study analyzes potential causes, common symptoms, and the impact of explantation on symptom resolution.
