Are breast implants safe?

A common question that is asked in Plastic Surgery is "Are breast implants safe?" The answer is "yes". There has been a fair amount of debate about their safety over the past ten to fifteen years after the initial problems with early implants. A significant amount of press and concern was created due to their rupture. The silicone gel implant was taken off the market for breast augmentation but remained available for reconstruction. After an extensive process by the FDA, the silicone gel implant was brought back onto the market in late 2007. The new version of the implant is much improved and is made of a cohesive gel rather than the more liquid gel of the early implants. Presently, there has been no scientific evidence that the early implants were harmful. Saline-filled implants have always been available and are not harmful if they rupture. Whether one uses gel or saline-filled implants the main risk is capsular contracture or hardening of the implant and rupture. Thousands of breast implants have been used across the globe and the body of evidence has shown them to be safe.
