The topic of breast implant illness (BII) has been gaining attention in recent years, but for many women, it's still a relatively unknown issue. Women have been getting breast implants for decades without being aware of the dangers. At Killer Boobs, our goal is to start a mission to inform and support the choice to implant with full knowledge of the risks, or to explant with the understanding of the benefits.

Breast implant illness is a term used to describe a set of symptoms that can occur after getting breast implants. These symptoms can include fatigue, joint pain, hair loss, brain fog, and more. Some women also experience autoimmune symptoms, such as rashes, hives, and thyroid issues. For many women, the symptoms are severe enough to disrupt their daily lives and make it difficult to work or care for themselves and their families.

The cause of BII is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to the materials used in the implants, as well as the body's immune response to the foreign object. Some women may also develop a condition called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), which is a rare type of cancer that develops in the tissue surrounding the implant.

The most effective treatment for BII is explantation, or the removal of the implants. This can be a difficult and emotional decision for many women, as breast implants are often seen as a symbol of femininity and beauty. However, for many women, explantation is the only way to alleviate their symptoms and regain their quality of life.

At Killer Boobs, we understand the physical and emotional struggles of BII. That's why we offer a variety of services to help women understand their symptoms, navigate the explant process, and provide emotional support. Our founder, a breast implant survivor, is available for speaking engagements, individual coaching sessions, and group coaching sessions. We also offer membership, which gives individuals access to exclusive events, resources, and networking opportunities. Our goal is to create a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about spreading awareness about BII and working towards a common goal.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of BII, it's important to seek medical attention and consider explantation as a treatment option. At killer Boobs, we are here to provide support, guidance, and resources to help you make an informed decision about your breast health. We believe that knowledge is power and that by spreading awareness about BII, we can help women make informed decisions and regain their quality of life.

In conclusion, breast implant illness is a serious condition that affects many women who have breast implants. It's important to be aware of the symptoms and to seek medical attention if you are experiencing them. At Killer Boobs, our goal is to start a mission to inform and support the choice to implant with full knowledge of the risks, or to explant with the understanding of the benefits. We offer a variety of services to help women understand their symptoms, navigate the explant process, and provide emotional support.
