Does breast implants cause babies to have autism?

Question

I read an article that implied Toni Braxton & Jenny McCartney children had autism due to them having breast implants

William J. Hedden, MD · Answer

There is no proven link to autism from mothers having breast implants. The implants are one of the most studied devices in medicine. I believe they are very safe devices.

Janet Turkle, MD · Answer

The cause of autism is not entirely understood. Breast implants have NOT been linked to causing autism in babies born to women with breast implants.

Vishnu Rumalla, MD · Answer

I have attached the URL for the National Institute of Health's Library of medical literature called PubMed.  This is a great resource to review the medical literature and you can do fairly advanced searches. I personally have not heard of such an association.  Good Luck.

David Shifrin, MD · Answer

In a very efficient answer. NO.Implants have been studied extensively by the FDA and are safe.

Asif Pirani, MD, FRCS(C) · Answer

There is no good evidence to support this as far as I am aware.  You should see a BC PS in your area to discuss this.
