Please Advise on Eurosilicone Breast Implants, Are the Safe?

Eurosilicone implants are manufactured in France and sold throughout much of the world EXCEPT the United States. Most physicians in the United States will have no real in depth knowledge of these implants. The company has been operation for a number of years and claims to follow all recommended manufacturing standards for their products. The main issue is to avoid the placement of PIP implants. This is another French company whose manufacturing standards are alleged to be below acceptable. A number of patients have suffered ruptured implants and early investigations into the company point to illegal manufacturing processes and corporate wrongdoing. These implants were never approved for use in the U.S. either. I hope this makes things a little more clear. Dr Harrell

Dear Betty, the euro silicone does not seem to be the problem so I would not be concerned.  Those implants are not FDA approved in the USA so I am not that familiar with them.  If you have any concerns by all means contact your plastic surgeon.  Remember that implants don,t last forever and should be exchanged every 10-15 years at the most (FDA recommends 10).  Good luck and try not to worry, dr.
