Abstract 143: Improvement Of Pulmonary Function After Removal Of Breast Implant And Total Capsulectomy: An Objective Outcome Assessment In Breast Implant Illness

摘要

Purpose: Breast Implant Illness (BII) after aesthetic breast augmentation remains a poorly defined syndrome. Patients attribute a spectrum of symptoms to breast implants. Previously published series have observed a subjective improvement in breathing following breast implant removal and total capsulectomy. We hypothesized that patients presenting with BII would have significant improvement in pulmonary function tests after removal of their breast implants and capsules (explantation).
