Silicone Breast Implants
The Ghost Of The Silicone Implants Returns
No, not poltergeists: Breast implants filled with silicone gel.
For women who have had a bad experience with implants, that news can be a little better than a visit from an angry ghost. There are women around the world who hold responsible for their silicone breast implants autoimmune disease or cancer. These women should be shaking their heads in amazement, why silicone implants are available again?
The way this question is answered, says a lot about the role that you believe that government should play in your healthcare. Is it the role of government to minimize any danger, or is it their job to ensure that we are aware of the dangers, and then leave the final decision to us, the people?
Silicone implants are still not sure, "depending on how you define this word. Even Mentor company, which manufactures silicone and saline implants, recognizes that implants can cause some health complications. These may include" hardening of the area around the implant, breast pain , change in nipple sensation, implant rupture and the need for further surgery, "says spokesperson Melissa Vayres. And the FDA is on record saying that a woman will have breast implants must understand that there is a significant chance she will need additional breast implant surgery in the future. Can go undetected implants rupture and silicone can migrate in the body, even in organs. This silicone can form lumps fled, and some it may be impossible to remove from the body.
Sounds nasty. But none of these side effects, in isolation, constitutes a serious threat to a woman's health. When asked about silicone implants' role in causing autoimmune disease or cancer, the prosthetic devices fare better: the vast majority of studies and trials conducted since silicone implants were taken out of the open market back in 1992 has failed to demonstrate a link between silicone implants and the development of these serious diseases. Although it is impossible to say that they have some still undiscovered role in poor health, to quote Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (SGKBCF), "the overwhelming body of evidence does not support the existence of a link between silicone breast implants and major diseases of the body ... "
If you believe that government's role in healthcare includes protecting us from ourselves, you may want to remain silicone breast implants off the market. According SGKBCF, only 20 percent of breast is related to medical need (for example, breast reconstruction). Several operations implant, pain, loss of sensation and Migrating silicone may sound like a high price to pay for a basic cosmetic procedure.
But the question is, will you - or government - has the right to make that choice for women who are willing to pay the price? The documented risks of silicone implants is well documented, information about risk is available. And many women clearly think the risks are worth it.
