Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 I don't agree with the statement that when you get implants, you have the same chance of getting sick as with any other surgery. They put a silicone bag in your body!!!! Please read this excerpt from an article in the United Press International. I could throw statistics and quotes from doctors at you all day, but if having larger breasts is more important to you than your health, you won't listen anyway. Women with breast implants are significantly more likely to die of brain cancer, respiratory-tract diseases and suicide than normal, repor t researchers at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md., the National Institute of Health's cancer-research wing. Medical scientists have found that women with implants had double the risk of dying from brain cancer than other female plastic surgery patients. The research team compared these two groups because these women tend to come from the same economic and social backgrounds, therefore minimizing the chance that lifestyle was responsible for this deadly difference. The rates of all the lethal problems the researchers found also are higher in women with implants than the general population.

I think all of you can give me a nod on that statement. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
