Platinum Not Harmful
The platinum that is used in the process of the manufacturing is not harmful in anyw ay to women. There have been reports of some elevated levels of platinum in patients, but the studies were suspect as to who commisioned and performed them. It is an inert material and causes no issues.

Platinum is used in the curing and processing of the breast implant shell. Platinum is one of the most inert (NON-interactive) compounds in existence - more so than gold. It poses NO risk whatsoever.
