3. Can Breast Implants Make you Sick?
There are some myths about whether or not breast augmentation can make a woman sick. There are controversial concerns about whether implants may or may not cause a woman to become ill from the implants and not just have complications in the area of the breast.
There are some reports that show evidence that implants may cause systemic diseases. It is important to note that these studies were focused on connective tissue or autoimmune diseases among women who had only had implants over a short amount of time.
Both autoimmune and connective tissue diseases can take years to fully develop and then be diagnosed, the studies on women who have had implants for a short time cannot be used in order to determine whether the implants were the cause. However, there have been reports that indicate implants could be linked to some autoimmune diseases. These studies show that a leaking implant could cause a woman to be more likely to develop fibromyalgia.
