SYNOPSIS

In the US alone, roughly 400,000 women a year will get breast implants for various reasons. Breast augmentation is a global industry valued at approximately 3 billion USD annually – and that figure is growing.

Although breast implants have been marketed as harmless, women with breast implants have a higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrome, scleroderma, sarcoidosis, multiple sclerosis, cancer and more. As the number of women who get breast implants grows, so does the number of people who get sick – and these women are speaking out…

Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick went public in People Magazine about her recovery from illness after having her implants removed.

Dawnmarie Deshaies is a wife, mother of three, fitness enthusiast, influencer, and Instagram model (@dawnmariehealthyandfit). After Dawnmarie gave birth to her third child she struggled with low self-image and decided to get breast implants. Since then, she has struggled with numerous physical and mental health issues. Despite knowing how detrimental the implants may be, and her health continuing to decline, Dawnmarie is fearful of having them removed…for now.

Through stories like Dawnmarie’s, Killer Body offers personal, thoughtful discussions about implants and their impact. Through their intimate journeys, we meet other women who have been affected by breast implants, as well as doctors and esteemed researchers who weigh in the expert knowledge and opinions.
