One woman experienced short breathing, brain fog and more concerning symptoms. Once her breast implants were removed, she felt immediately better. Some experts don't believe Breast Implant Illness is real, but thousands are getting their implants taken out.
Last February, Renee Vidor went for a run. During her workout, she had an asthma attack. Breathing troubles were totally unexpected for the now-37-year-old mom of two, who had never experienced asthma before. It was concerning, but it wasn’t until a few months later, when she could no longer work out at all due to shortness of breath and heart palpitations, that she started to really worry.
When Vidor visited her doctor, she says she was told she was perfectly healthy and her concerns about her strange symptoms were brushed aside. It wasn’t the first time this happened, either. “But my practitioners always told me, ‘You're just getting older; it's normal,’” Vidor says. . In it, over 100,000 members share their stories and concerns about what they refer to as Breast Implant Illness, or BII. It was in this group that Vidor learned there were thousands of other women with breast implants going through similar experiences.
Like many of the women she’d exchanged stories with, Vidor’s symptoms were greatly reduced after having her implants removed. “I can literally say that my life improved from the day following surgery,” she says.
