Silicone IS silicone....I don't care if an elephant, 40 story building and 15 cars are placed on top of one of these so-called medical devices of an illusion of the mind. These things are A PROBLEM to the human immune response....the doctor below is just doing some circus stage act as he drops some implant on the floor & stands on it---won't LEAK AS MUCH?????...gosh, they have to do some type of CIRCUS ACT to sell the things so that the general population is sold on them...but with a statement "won't leak as much"....would send me running the other way...WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT IT TO LEAK AT ALL~because there IS A REAL PROBLEM with ANY silicone breast implants---they accumulate proteins on the surface of these devices...PROTEIN IS A REAL CONCERN...then place these devices that have PROTEIN ON THE SURFACE in the human body with one's genetics/genes/variants of key genes that CAN BE EXERTED, (along with the time factor of exposure) and PROTEIN EXCESSES are common IN MANY DISEASES, PRIMARILY THOSE DISEASES THAT STIMULATE THE HUMAN IMMUNE RESPONSE...physicians, researchers, THE FDA will still OBSERVE REACTIONS (not just local reactions) but HUGE REACTIONS as diseases will be STIMULATED because of proteins, which IS NOT THE "cause" of one's genetics, but CAUSED by proteins on the implant and this harmful devices is being placed in the human body where IT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED.....

This is CAUSATION of Silicone & a very harmful thing for humanity and women's health issues & for the offspring born from this toxic soup.

Silicone, silicone breast implants, other various silicone implants have **proteins that accumulate on the SURFACE and then entangle this scientific fact with the scientific fact that PROTEIN EXCESSES are common in many diseases primarily those that STIMULATE the IMMUNE response** ...we all need to CALL 911 and get the REAL HELP WE NEED....this is pure medical bushwhacking, negligence and free will ignorance....that is going to really take humanity down to the depths of hell~ Karen, Thanks for sending me this article and providing the the CIRCUS SHOW that plastic surgeons NOW SEEM TO BE APPLYING to sell their harmful products as they NOW HAVE TO STAND ON THE DEVICES---to sell them.... ....this is all going to backfire in their face sooner than later....the human body is still going to make a MOCKERY of plastic surgeons and the companies....

The best breast implant is PROTEIN FREE, which is NOT MADE OF MATERIAL, but designed from tissues (stem cells), that has a good blood supply that is embrace by one's genetics--embraced by the variants of key genes that ARE BEING EXERTED within the human body and via the placental barrier in the offspring.

New silicone breast implants more durable, but doctors advise regular exams

Dr. Gregory Sexton drops a silicone breast implant on the floor of his office and stands on top if it.

"This kind won’t leak as much," he says of a new generation of silicone implants, recently allowed on the market.

In 1992, safety concerns spurred a 14-year federal ban. In November, the FDA approved silicone implants again after concluding there is no scientific link to systemic diseases.

Charleston plastic surgeon Anne Edwards echoed Sexton’s assessment.

"These implants are better designed than the product used years ago," she said. "I think they’re the best we’ve seen yet."

The earlier silicone models were prone to leakage and triggered thousands of lawsuits, which sent manufacturer Dow Corning into bankruptcy. The new implants are manufactured by two companies, Allergan and Mentor.<<<<

Because of earlier problems, durability is a major consideration for patients.<<<

Unlike the silicone used in earlier implants, the newly approved gel forms are made to last. They remain uniform and flexible and can withstand heavy impact and extreme pressure.

Still, physicians advise patients to have their implants checked regularly. The Food and Drug Administration also recommends women get regular MRI exams to detect possible ruptures.

"Get a good breast exam every year. Check for softness, contracture, shape, firmness and any changes in the breast," said Sexton, who has performed about 800 implant surgeries.

"If a saline implant leaks, we know immediately because the breast will flatten. But if a silicone implant leaks, we may not know because of its gelatinous consistency."

Another factor to consider when choosing implants is cost. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery lists surgeons’ fees at an average of $3,583 for saline implants and $4,005 for silicone in 2005, excluding associated expenses.

Silicone models also require larger incisions because they are pre-filled.

In addition, capsular contracture — hard tissue forming around foreign objects in the body — occurs more often with silicone than saline.

"The major positive of silicone implants is that they look and feel more natural," Sexton said. "But it’s really about the patient’s needs and preferences."

Doctors suggest that women verify their surgeon’s board certification before scheduling a procedure. Women also should talk with their doctor about family history of breast cancer and ask about risks and complications.

"We have a professional responsibility to our patients," Edwards said. "I want them to know that their welfare and safety are my primary objective, more so than any aesthetic reason."

Federal officials say possible complications of implants include hardness, breast pain, reduced nipple sensation, implant rupture and the need for additional surgery. But most women have reported being satisfied with their new silicone implants.

Though the new models have been proven safer than their predecessors, the FDA has encountered opposition.

The nonprofit National Research Center for Women and Families called the government’s decision to OK implants a "triumph of corporate lobbying" over women’s health. The center contends much research needs to be done on breast cancer patients and minorities.

Diana Zuckerman, the group’s president, also worries that women will opt not to pay $2,000 for chest MRIs, which the FDA recommends to detect leaks.
