Breast Implants

With breast implant surgery being so common and popular there are a number of interesting findings for any breast implants study. A study can give you valuable information about how women perform after implant surgery, statistics on leakage and other problems. Many of the studies have been conducted on the issues of safety and health concerns that address many women's questions before the surgery, but should be reviewed closely.

One study found that silicone gel implants might increase the risk of Fibromyalgia in women if the implant was to rupture. The Food and Drug Administration published this 2001 study. However, the interesting limitation listed by the study, reports that other variables may have had an effect on the fibromyalgia rather than the silicone breast implant. When viewing studies or looking at the results it is very important to understand how the statistics can be misconstrued.

Another study conducted by a university in the Netherlands and published in 2003, found that there may be a link between breast enlargement and suicide. The results were considered after an eleven-year follow-up period with women that had undergone breast implants. The interesting factor that may make more of a difference then the implants is the fact that women who are seeking breast implants are generally unhappy with themselves. Is it possible that they were depressed or suicidal before the breast implants? Very likely and therefore again, you must be very careful when viewing the results of any study.

There are a number of studies that have found that breast implants are safe and effective. Women all over the world enjoy the ability to enhance their bodies, therefore promoting a heightened self-esteem. There are health concerns of breast implants and those are completely explained before any woman is taken in for surgery.

The purpose of this article is not to drown science or studies, but to make you aware that you must review all of the facts and not only the end numbers. Sometimes there are many other factors that are involved in the breast implants study, that may not be waived as a red flag, like the end numbers are. Look at the study, examine the numbers and then make the decision yourself.
