Breast Implant Safety

When it comes to breast implants, there are a lot of myths about breast implant safety. It's time you had the scientific facts presented to you so that if you are trying to decide if breast implants are for you.

It seems the news has been filled with reports of women suffering from autoimmune disease as a result of breast cancer. There has also been a great deal of coverage relating to breast cancer and an increased risk from implants.

While all this attention in the news is going on, the scientific world is busy conducting more tests and more studies. It's important that you have up to date information to base your decision on, minus the sensationalism that the media brings to the world.

Another recent study by the National Cancer Institute showed that there was no significant increase in the risk of breast cancer. You can visit www.nci.nih.gov/newscenter/siliconefactsheet to see the entire study.

A report released by the National Academy Institute of Medicine issued the following statement: "The NCI researchers found no association between breast implants and the subsequent risk of breast cancer ... Women with breast implants were not at an increased risk for connective tissue disorders when their records were reviewed by two independent rheumatologists who did not know if the women
had an implant or not."

All women, regardless of breast implants or not, are at risk for certain diseases including breast cancer, and that there is no correlation between breast implants and breast cancer.

However, implants can make it more difficult to detect breast cancer on the mammogram, so it's a good idea to have a mammogram before you have your implants. It makes it easier for future comparisons.

Of course, with any surgery, there are some risks, which your plastic surgeon will discuss with you, but as a whole breast implants are safe, just ask millions of women around the world.

Choosing The Right Breast Implant For You

Each of us has a different body shape and that means each of us has our own unique pair of "girls." When Mother Nature hands out breasts, they aren't always what we envisioned, but thanks to science and surgeons we don't have to live with what Mother Nature provided. Now you can choose the right breast implants for you ...

There are different sizes to choose from - but you already know that. Did you know that you can also choose shape and texture? And now you can once again choose between silicone and saline?

There are both round and contoured shapes that you can choose from. The contoured implants are sometimes called teardrop implants. These are thought to be the most natural shaped. They are inserted under the chest muscle, and they have a texture to them which stops the implant from being able to move from its original location.

Round implants are the oldest and most common, and some women still prefer the fullness of this type of implant. Think Pamela Anderson. Round implants are usually placed under the pectoral muscle and because the walls are so thin and there is no texture, they are the most natural to the touch.

You have the choice between silicone or saline implants. Silicone implants are a solid gel and feel very natural to the touch. Saline implants are often housed in a very thin silicone shell.

You and your surgeon will decide what the best type of implant is for you. You likely already have an idea of what size you want the girls to be. You and your surgeon can determine if it's right for you. You and your surgeon will also discuss all of your questions, helping you to have confidence in your surgeon's skills and knowledge.

You are going to look great and feel great with the new "girls."

* Saline breast implants offer the option of being able to adjust the volume after the procedure using a valve that’s attached to the implant. That means you can change your mind about cup size at a later day.

Let’s have a look at what silicone has to offer:
* With silicone you can choose shape, texture, and thickness.
* Silicone is very natural feeling because of its texture.
