Compassionate, informed care for patients experiencing symptoms they believe may be related to breast implants.

Listening First, Then Guiding With Experience

Some patients with breast implants report a range of physical symptoms that they believe may be associated with their implants. These experiences are often personal, complex, and frustrating, especially when symptoms don’t fit neatly into a single diagnosis.

At Coastal Cosmetic Center, breast implant illness treatment in Jacksonville is provided with careful attention, respect, and honest conversation. Led by board-certified Timothy E. Fee, MD, FACS and Jordan A. Bilezikian, MD, our approach prioritizes patient education, thoughtful evaluation, and individualized surgical guidance when implant removal is being considered. Every patient's experience is unique, and our goal is to provide a safe, accredited environment where your health and aesthetic goals are addressed with the highest level of clinical integrity.

What Is Breast Implant Illness?

Breast Implant Illness (BII) is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms that some patients associate with having breast implants. BII is not currently recognized as a formal medical diagnosis, and research into potential causes and mechanisms is ongoing.

Symptoms attributed to Breast Implant Illness vary widely and may include fatigue, joint or muscle discomfort, brain fog, skin changes, anxiety, or other systemic concerns. Not every patient with implants experiences these symptoms, and the cause can differ from person to person.

Understanding Symptoms Associated With Breast Implant Illness

Patients who seek consultation for Breast Implant Illness often describe symptoms such as:

Chronic fatigue
Joint or muscle pain
Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Headaches
Skin rashes or hair changes
Anxiety or mood changes

Because these symptoms can overlap with other medical conditions, a comprehensive and individualized evaluation is essential before determining next steps.

Is Breast Implant Removal an Option for BII?

Some patients choose breast implant removal as part of their approach to managing symptoms they associate with Breast Implant Illness. While outcomes vary, many patients report improvement in symptoms following implant removal.

At Coastal Cosmetic Center, we carefully review medical history, implant history, and individual concerns to determine whether implant removal may be appropriate. Surgical recommendations are never one-size-fits-all and are made with safety and long-term well-being in mind.

The Role of Total Capsulectomy in BII Care

Some patients considering implant removal for BII treatment in Jacksonville ask about a total capsulectomy. This procedure involves removing the implant along with the entire surrounding scar capsule. While a total capsulectomy may be recommended in certain situations, it is not necessary or appropriate for every patient.

Because this procedure is more complex and carries additional surgical considerations, it requires a tailored approach. At Coastal Cosmetic Center, the decision to perform a total capsulectomy is based on your unique anatomy, implant history, and overall safety rather than a blanket recommendation.
