Are Silicone Breast Implants Safe?
The FDA convened a panel to study the long term results of Silicone breast implants in Gaithesburg, Virginia on August 30 and 31st. The FDA published a white paper in June 2011 stating that silicone breast implants are safe.
Laurie Casas, MD, a past-president of ASERF, testified before the FDA: “We strongly believe that a woman’s right to choose breast implants is paralleled by her right to be fully informed of both the risks and the benefits of breast implant surgery.”
To further discuss whether breast augmentation with silicone or saline breast implants is right for you, call (847-657-6884) for a complimentary consultation.
