Navya Das, a 45-year-old marketing executive,...
Navya Das, a 45-year-old marketing executive, got silicone implants in her late 20s to boost her confidence. For the last three years, she has experienced persistent fatigue, joint pain, and 'brain fog.' After extensive research and consultations, she became convinced her symptoms were Breast Implant Illness (BII). Her plastic surgeon, empathetic to her suffering despite inconclusive tests, agreed that implant removal was the next logical step. Navya underwent a total capsulectomy, removing both implants and the surrounding scar tissue. The recovery was physically demanding, but within weeks, her chronic pain and fatigue began to lift. Emotionally, she moved from a state of frustration and fear about her unexplained illness to profound relief and validation. She now advocates for listening to one's body, feeling more authentically herself without the implants.
