  • Breast Augmentation is a personal decision for millions of women around the world. Breast implants have been studied more thoroughly than any other medical device in history. There are always known and unknown risks associated with surgical procedures. Advances in medicine are made through evidence based science and not anecdotal stories of vague physical complaints. Your opinions are just that, opinions, not based on any scientific or epidemiologic studies.

  • As patient #35, my blood is boiling after watching this. So easy to cast doubt in everyone's mind to look away. They should be responding with specific advice on what to look for. Did I mention that this risk is NO WHERE in the implant device literature? Shouldn't it be up to the patient to make their own decision, but be informed up from that there might me a slight chance of this???

  • Incredible footage. I found some good information on this procedure at plasticsurgerymadeeasy (.) com

  • Im getting mine removed, not just because of this announcement, but because of all the my unexplained health issues for the last 7 years. I have all documentation and am feeling confident that I will start feeling better when removed! There are so many women sick from both saline and silicone. Being a nurse, Im ashamed that I didnt realize this alot sooner!
