Have you experienced symptoms of breast implant illness? Let me know in the comments! In this episode: What is breast implant illness? What causes breast implant illness? Is it normal to react to silicone? Do women who have had breast implants removed see a difference in their symptoms? How would a skin rash present itself? Quotes “Inside the silicone rubber implant is either saline or salt water or is a silicone gel. We don't know what it is that you react to. Most likely it's the fact that it's silicone that's inside your body that you're reacting to because you shouldn't react to saline.” [4:41] “There are a lot of reasons you get rashes, and people get rashes and they don't have breast implants. But if you get to that point where you say, "I am sick, and we can't figure out what's going on with me," and you have breast implants, then that's something to definitely look into.” [13:31] Links Resources on Topical Steroid Withdrawal Find Dr. Youn online Download Dr. Youn's FREE eGuides, “What to Eat to Look Younger” AND “Ten Things Every Plastic Surgery Patient Must Know” Jennifer's appearance on Dr. Youn's podcast, The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show – Episode 136: The Healthy Skin Diet Healthy Skin Show episode 033: Tackling Scars And How To Support Sensitive Skin w/ Dr. Anthony Youn Playing God: The Evolution of a Modern Surgeon Youn Beauty Brightening Cream Follow Dr. Youn on Instagram | Facebook
