The disease of breast implants (BII) has begun to receive more attention due to new research and to the women affected than the mentioned. This condition can cause a range of symptoms such as fatigue, memory loss, and pain in the joints, which tend to improve once the implants are removed (explantation). Many of the symptoms of BII are similar to those of autoimmune diseases and disorders of the connective tissue, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. However, not all people with BII are diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or connective tissue specific. The BII is not yet officially recognized as a medical condition, but some experts suggest that it could be related to a reaction autoimmune implants.

WHAT IS THE SYNDROME OF ASIA?
The Syndrome of ASIA (Syndrome Autoimmune /inflammatory Induced by Adjuvants) is a disease relatively new, first proposed in 2011 by researchers Yehuda Shoenfeld, Nancy Agmon-Levin. This condition encompasses a group of diseases mediated by an immunological reaction secondary to exposure to adjuvants, such as the silicone used in breast implants. The multiple symptoms that are generated usually resolve once the causative agent is removed. Diagnosis of the Syndrome of ASIA: The diagnosis of
Syndrome of ASIA is made to meet two major criteria or one major and two minors, according to the parameters established by the experts. Epidemiology: In 2017, Colombia was ranked number 11 globally in aesthetic procedures, representing 2.1% of these procedures, which include breast augmentation with breast implants. In recent years, it has been observed an association between exposure to silicone, and the appearance of autoimmune diseases.
