💌 Design with Compassion: New Card Ideas for Breast Explant Recovery and BII Awareness

As awareness grows around Breast Implant Illness (BII) and the emotional and physical journey of explant surgery, more people are looking for ways to support friends, family, or even themselves through this deeply personal experience.

Greeting Card Universe is introducing two important new sub-categories to reflect this growing need:

✨ NEW CARD CATEGORIES:

• Get Well / Feel Better >> Plastic / Cosmetic Surgery >> Breast Explant / BII Implant Illness [cid#37434]
• Holidays >> National / International Days >> National Breast Implant Awareness Month (March) [cid#37436]

This is an opportunity to create supportive, validating, and empowering cards that speak directly to individuals navigating BII, recovery from explant surgery, or participating in awareness efforts.

💡 What Is Breast Implant Illness (BII)?

Breast Implant Illness (BII) refers to a collection of symptoms (such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, hair loss, anxiety, and autoimmune issues) that some people experience after getting breast implants. Many choose to undergo explant surgery (implant removal) in hopes of improving their health.

These are real struggles—and real victories. Your cards can help affirm those experiences with compassion, strength, and solidarity.
