SILICONE IMPLANTS FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION

Every year, thousands of women from different walks of life undergo breast augmentation in Toronto for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons. Some of them will have questions regarding the safety of silicone breast implants used in breast augmentation. It is important to note that silicone implants have been used in breast augmentation – and other surgical procedures - for decades and studies have shown them to be safe under the care of a qualified plastic surgeon.

This statement is backed up by scientific studies conducted by silicone implant manufacturers - and verified by the FDA – in which the safety and effectiveness of silicone devices used in breast augmentation is supported. In January of 2006 Health Canada published a report by an expert advisory panel to provide guidance and observe advances in breast augmentation surgery. The primary job of this panel is protecting breast augmentation patients. This panel is also responsible for providing medical advice on the safety and effectiveness of silicone breast implants used in breast augmentation surgery.

Industry professionals and health care experts are cooperating in this way in order to ensure that silicone breast implants are safe and effective for use in breast augmentation surgeries.
