Silicone Breast Enhancement

Last Updated: June 22, 2011

Breast Enhancement

The silicone gel implants that are used for silicone breast enhancement were first introduced in the 1960s, but since the 1980s silicone breast enhancement has garnered quite a bit of criticism.

This criticism is not without warrant. Since the 1980s silicone breast implants have been associated with various connective tissue and autoimmune diseases. They have been linked to arthritis, skin decay, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome and even cancer.

The biggest concern when it comes to silicone breast enhancement is the possibility of leakage. In many cases leakage has been linked to chronic illness so anyone who is considering having this type of implant should be aware of the obvious risks involved with silicone breast enhancement.

Breast enhancement

All plastic surgery carries risks, but since saline implants have been introduced more and more women seem to be attracted to breast enhancement.

Because scientific research has yet to prove that silicone implants are safe the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ruled that silicone implants should only be made available to women who are participating in scientific studies.

Because silicone implants are now only available to a select few, a new type of implant has become widely available. Saline implants are considered by many to be quite a bit safer than their silicone cousins. This is because saline implants are filled with salt-water rather than the compound silicone, which is also used to make binders, caulking, and sealants and latex paints.

If you are considering breast enhancement it is important to weigh all of your options so that you can feel completely comfortable with the decision you make.

Breast enhancement can not only change your figure it can also refurbish your sense of self esteem so if you are sick of your small chest consult a plastic surgeon in your area to see which type of result will be best suited to your body and your lifestyle.

Although silicone breast enhancement seems to have become quite outdated, new, safer breast enhancement techniques are continuously being developed to provide women with the great figures they have always dreamed of.
