With scientific studies proving a causation link between breast implants & a certain type of cancer, which brand of implants are the most inert and have the least toxic chemicals that could slowly leach into your blood stream over time?

Answer: Breast Implants Question Dear Lindsey23465,Thank you for your question. The FDA recently released a statement regarding the link between silicone implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. This risk from the information we have is almost entirely with textured, silicone implants. The theory is that friction between the textured implant surface and the breast capsule may be causing this issue. From what we know smooth surface silicone implants and saline implants do not carry or have a much smaller to no risk. Breast implant illness is a separate discussion. Although many women report resolution of symptoms such as fatigue, mental fogginess, and joint pain after breast implant removal, there are currently no scientific studies proving such a relation. Hope this helps,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Answer: Breast implants and cancer The relationship between breast implants and a rare type of lymphoma continues to be a subject of much investigation. What we know thus far is that this is linked mainly to textured silicone gel implants so fir the most part plastic surgeons are using primarily smooth surface implants.
