Silicone Implant Impact
Jeff Carlton from the Associated Press recently reported on the effect the recent approval of silicone implants by the FDA had on the amount of surgeries doctors are getting.
In an interview with a doctor, the doctor reports that many women are considering replacing their old saline implants with new Silicone implants and that women who were also awaiting the approval are starting to make appointments to get new silicone implant augmentations.
Mentor Corp., who specializes in the manufacturing of saline and silicone implants doesn’t expect an increase in production roll out, but does expect to change the ratio of which implants are produced; meaning fewer saline production and increased silicone production.
Industry experts say that women from around the world choose silicone over saline 80-90 percent of the time. Doctors and patients alike agree, silicone implants look and feel more natural.
Many are cautious of the health and safety concerns that come with silicone, but many studies suggest that there is no conclusive and direct evidence that silicone implants are attributed to connective tissue diseases. The 14-year ban by the FDA was done to extensively study the effects.
So the question is, what will you do? Will you look into silicone? Are you going to replace your saline implants?
