Safety of Silicone Breast Implants presents a well-documented, thoughtful exploration of the safety of these devices, drawing conclusions from the available research base and suggesting further questions to be answered. This book also examines the sensitive issues surrounding women's decisions about implants. In reaching conclusions, the committee reviews: The history of the silicone breast implant and the development of its chemistry. The wide variety of U.S.-made implants and their regulation by the Food and Drug Administration. Frequency and consequences of local complications from implants. The evidence for and against links between implants and autoimmune disorders, connective tissue disease, neurological problems, silicone in breast milk, or a proposed new syndrome. Evidence that implants may be associated with lower frequencies of breast cancer. Safety of Silicone Breast Implants provides a comprehensive, well-organized review of the science behind one of the most significant medical controversies of our time.Breast implantsComplicationsSiliconesToxicologyMammaplastyBreast implantsComplications.SiliconesToxicology.Mammaplasty.618.1/90592Bondurant Stuart1806334Ernster Virginia L1806335Herdman Roger1806336Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Committee on the Safety of Silicone Breast Implants.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960857903321Safety of silicone breast implants4355457UNINA
