SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS, although very nice in beautifying the
world, present some very serious dangers to the recipients. The
implants are under more stringent controls, however, still available.
Many women have received an alternative, saline implants, but the
saline is held within a silicon container. The dangers from the
silicone are still possible with the saline implants.
If you have implants, you should follow some of these guidelines:
You should be periodically checked by a physician familiar with
implants and their dangers.
Do not breast feed your children -- it has not been determined if
the silicone "bleeds" into the breast milk -- this could affect your
newborn's future health.
You should *definitely* have screening mammography at intervals
recommended for your age group. There are special techniques required
for women, who have silicone breast implants. Be sure to advise any
technician that you have had implants, prior to radiological examinations.
