“Silicon-ularly” Safe:

The continuous bad press that silicone breast implants have been getting might rival Britney Spears ‘troubled’ escapades. While Britney Spears might not have the tag of health hazard [except to her own self] attached to her, breast implants have been linked with breast cancer for a long time.

This belief is now being rejected by most Americans with recent
epidemiological studies confirming the safety of silicone gel-filled breast implants.

Dismissing the stigma attached to
breast implant surgery, Dr. McLaughlin and his colleagues at the International Epidemiology Institute have this to say of the survey conducted b them, "We conclude that the weight of the epidemiologic evidence does not support a causal association between breast implants and breast or any other type of cancer, definite or atypical CTD, adverse offspring effects, or neurologic disease,"

A comprehensive review further validated their claim when it revealed that
silicone breast implants do not increase the risk of cancers, connective tissue diseases, or other serious chronic diseases.

The
plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California conduct breast implant procedures using either silicone gel or saline solution as fillers for the implant. Both these implants are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] and have been declared safe for use in breast augmentation procedures.
