Hey friends and welcome to episode #37. In this weeks episode I chat with fellow podcast producer of the 'Could it Bii' Podcast, HR data specialist, dog mum and backup singer Bianca.

We talk through Bianca's decision to get breast implants initially after coming into her teenage years and not developing the way she had assumed she would. She then went on to develop a host of different, somewhat specific but not always connected symptoms which prompted her to do some digging. We talk through her journey to explant and how she is doing now.

Although BII is not a recognised diagnosable condition there is plenty of information available online and support groups to connect in on.

You can find Bianca on Instagram at @coulditbiipodcast or email coulditbiipodcast@gmail.com
