Abstract

Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA) is a complex clinical entity characterized by the onset of autoimmune or inflammatory responses following exposure to adjuvants, substances that enhance immune responses. One of the most studied triggers of ASIA is breast implants, which are commonly composed of silicone. While breast implants are generally considered safe, a subset of patients may develop systemic symptoms collectively termed as "Breast Implant Illness" (BII), now recognized within the broader spectrum of ASIA. This review provides a thorough analysis of the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management options for ASIA associated with breast implants. We aim to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of immune dysregulation and inflammatory responses induced by silicone and explore the latest evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including explantation surgery and immunosuppressive therapies. Our review underscores the need for heightened clinical awareness and further research into ASIA, as early recognition and intervention can significantly improve patient outcomes.
