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.
