Removal of Breast Implants 6 Weeks after Breasts Augmentation?
Thank you for the question.
I would suggest that you slow down and not make any decisions based on information you come across online. Although there is no physical “danger” in having them removed, you may end up being disappointed with the decision made based on an emotional reaction.
I would suggest that you review the FDA website and good studies that have failed to show a causative association between silicone gel breast implants and autoimmune disorders...
