Are silicone gel implants for breast augmentation safe?

Comprehensive domestic and international literature, including the U.S. FDA, the U.S. Science Advisory Board, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences Medical Research Council, the American College of Rheumatology, the American Academy of Plastic Surgery Education Foundation President Brody, the European Community 16 plastic equipment quality assurance meeting of the articles and statements, as well as most of the country’s textbooks of plastic surgery, there are now the following more widely recognized views. 1, strong evidence that silicone gel breast implants do not cause cancer. 2. Theoretically, it is hypothesized that the early detection of breast cancer may be affected by the implantation of silicone gel breast implants, but it has been confirmed that as long as the patient and the doctor are examined in a timely manner and appropriate mammography is performed, the risk is very low. 3. There is no evidence of an association between silicone gel breast implants and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid, scleroderma and connective tissue disorders (CTDS). 4. After surgical removal of the implants, it has been proven that the vast majority of past suspicions of physical discomfort such as back pain and chronic fatigue that may have been related to the implants cannot be determined. 5. Silicone gel breast implants do not cause the spread of immune-related and toxicity-related substances. 6, There is no evidence that silicone gel breast implants can be teratogenic or mutagenic in the human body. 7. After breast augmentation with silicone gel breast implants, there is no silicone gel infiltration in breast milk, so it is safe for breastfeeding. 8, Silicone gel inside the prosthesis, even after rupture of the prosthesis will not spread to distant places. Therefore, it is currently recognized that the use of silicone gel breast implants in breast augmentation is safe.
