Episode 57: Breast Implant Illness Awareness + Part 1 of Emma's Personal Story

In today’s podcast Jessica & Emma discuss the very current and topical issues of Breast Implant Illness (BII) and Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a rare form of immune mediated cancer associated primarily with textured implants. The emerging topic of breast implant safety in the media has seen many women stepping forward and sharing their health stories pre and post explant, inclusive of the profound systemic effects experienced by many woman with breast implants.
