Abstract

Around 2,500 women receive a breast augmentation with silicone-based implants yearly in Denmark. A number of these women report various uncharacteristic systemic symptoms, which they attribute to the breast implants, including impaired cognition, joint pain, etc. This condition has been termed "breast implant illness" and is currently not a recognised diagnosis. The correlation between the patient's self-reported symptoms and breast implants has not been established and there is limited evidence that surgery has any effect. In this review, the current literature on the topic has been reviewed.
