Issues of feminism and attractive looks rule the roost for majority of Indian women nowadays with beautiful faces peeking at them everywhere from the world of TV and films. Many women feel that their breasts do not fully express their feminism and therefore make them feel less attractive.

This report is interesting because it’s states some rather obvious facts but also addresses some myths about breast implant dangers , always remember that breast implants be it saline or silicone are a foreign object in the body and of course they aren’t meant to be lifetime devices or solutions to your ideal breast size.

You can’t keep breast implants for life, FDA says – Reuters

The agency said the studies overall confirmed its decision that implants can be used safely, but noted the conclusions could be limited because some women dropped out.

“The key point is that breast implants are not lifetime devices,” said Jeff Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. “The longer you have the implant, the more likely you are to have complications.”

I was catching up on plastic surgery news and came across this very well worded article that provides some excellent practical guidelines for breast implants.

Have a read because Dr Saia hit the nail on the head when it comes to those wanting to make you think breast implants are wildly dangerous for you.

Breast-feeding is known to possess nutritional and immunologic properties superior to those found in infant formulas. Breast-feeding seems to be particularly protective against some of the common childhood conditions such as eczema, otitis media, and iron-deficiency anemia, and is beneficial to neurodevelopment in premature infants. Also, there are substantial health benefits of breast-feeding for the mother and possibly for the whole family. Millions of silicone breast implants have been placed for either reconstructive or cosmetic surgeries. Many of the women with breast implants will become pregnant after their surgery.  Women with silicone implants may be apprehensive and confused over whether it is safe to breast feed.

Mothers with breast implants may decide not to breast feed their infants because of the mothers silicone getting into their breast milk.  A study by Dr. John Semple published in The Journal of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons should help them in their decision making. The research shows that when you compare women with breast implants to women who do not have breast implants there is no difference in silicon levels in the breast milk or in blood. Silicon levels in store bought cow’s milk was 15 times higher than in the milk of women with breast implants. Silicon levels in many commercially made infant nutrition formulas was often 80 times higher than the levels in the milk of women with breast implants!

Of course the choice is up to the woman, but this information that women with silicone breast implants have less silicon in their milk than in infant formulas coupled with the health, emotional and developmental benefits of breast feeding makes the choice easier.
