Overcoming and Thriving Beyond Breast Implant Illness with Dr. Kevin Brenner and Amanda Porta

Thousands of women across the world suffer from mysterious autoimmune-like symptoms—and many never find a proper diagnosis. I was one of those women—and I was lucky enough to uncover the cause: Breast Implant Illness (BII). After getting my implants out and sharing my story, I remember feeling scared—but I soon discovered a community of women who had shared the same experience. Today, I’m sitting down with two powerhouses in the field of breast implant illness: Dr. Kevin Brenner, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and BII patient liaison, Amanda Porta who helps manage his Holistic Breast Team. We discuss their personal experience with BII, progress being made in the industry, and the best ways to support patients who might be experiencing BII symptoms. This is a topic that is deeply personal to me—and I’m so honored to continue this conversation. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve had plastic surgery, have any medical devices, or if you’re considering a future surgery.
