I am curious about the book The Naked Truth About Breast Implants: From Harm to Healing by Susan E. Kolb. It seems to be the only book I have found that strongly discourages breast implants. She says implants are extremely toxic and will make you very ill. Viral infections, autoimmune diseases, bacterial and fungal infections. Are her point valid? What is the likelihood of someone developing saline implant disease or any of the illnesses she claims? What are the statistics?

Answer: Implants toxic? SIliicone breast implants are probably the most investigated product ever studied by the FDA. The research demonstrated a lack of evidence of autoimmune or toxic issues with implants. Yes, one can get an infection but that is with any foreign body.

Answer: Are breast implants safe? To answer your question, yes, breast implants are quite safe. The negative spin placed on breast implants by the author of your book is unfounded and unsupported by any legitimate scientific data. Each year, in the U.S. alone, approximately 480,000 women undergo breast augmentation with placement of breast implants. That number is growing each year. These numbers allow for tremendous amounts of data to be collected and followed regarding these procedures and the implants used. Breast implants, placed by an experienced Plastic Surgeon, Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery are indeed quite safe and pose no known health risk with any certainty. If you're interested in learning more about this procedure, schedule a consultation with a Plastic Surgeon. During your consultation, your surgeon can discuss the pros and cons of this procedure with you. With sound information and education, you can then decide whether or not breast augmentation is right for you. Good luck!
