The Breast Implant Controversy
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1994The breast implant issue is a "bad news/good news" story. For many women with implants, the controversy has caused a fair degree of anxiety which may or may not be resolved as further information becomes available. It has also taken its toll on Dow Corning. Whole lines of medical products have been eliminated or are being phase out.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2012
Infection after breast implant surgery occurs in 1.1% to 2.5% of procedures performed for augmentation and up to 35% of procedures performed for reconstruction after mastectomy. Most infections result from skin organisms and occur in the immediate postoperative period, although infections can occasionally present after many years.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1994
The emergency physician's day-to-day practice requires a broad range of knowledge of many aspects of medicine. Breast implants are a commonly implanted device and a working knowledge of their function and potential complications will aid emergency physicians in the care of their patients.

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2004
Breast implants have been used for about four decades for both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes. In 1963, the quality of the artificial implants was revolutionized by the introduction of the silicone gel-filled implant. Since, this modern prosthesis has gone through an evolution of change and improvement with several types of devices with many ...

Mammography and breast implants [PDF]
British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1995 Mammography in the presence of breast implants is complicated by the opacity of the implants, the displacement of breast tissue by the implant, and the presence of secondary changes such as calcification within a fibrous capsule. A special technique of mammography, known as the displacement technique, has been developed by Eklund in the USA, where it ...

Breast implant illness: Is it causally related to breast implants?
Autoimmunity ReviewsOnce believed to be completely inert implants, Silicon Breast Implants (SBIs) have been shown to be able to induce a chronic inflammatory response in the body which can lead to a variety of possible manifestations ranging from the most common capsular contraction to rarer conditions such as malignancies and autoimmune diseases.
