To the ever lasting shame of the American Legal Mafia which runs our government and every aspect of our lives, breast implants and especially Silicone filled breast implants have been the MOST EXTENSIVELY studied device in the history of this country. More than pacemakers, heart valves, defibrillators, brain shunts, artificial joints - more than anything.
I often wonder how much more could have been discovered and accomplished with the millions wasted to prove a point Plastic Surgeons have known for years.
You take NO additional risk in having silicone gel filled breast implants that you would by having saline filled breast implant.
