Research on Breast Implants

Recent research reveals that:

• 60% of women with saline implants have complications within four years
• 3% suffer leakage within three years causing a deflated implant
• 8% of implants have to be removed within three years

• hardening of the breasts
• loss of sensation in the nipple or breast
• shifting of the implant from its original position
• interference with mammography reading that may hamper cancer detection
