Breast Implant Illness does not discriminate.
This patient had Motiva microtextured breast implants for only one year before deciding to explant. During surgery, surgical mesh was also found embedded within the capsule, clearly visible on capsule cutting.
This is an important reminder that symptoms and concerns are not limited by implant age, brand, or how long they have been in place. Every patient’s experience is different, but the body’s response to foreign materials can be significant, even in a short period of time.
Listen to your body. Your symptoms matter.
