Breast Plastic Surgery: Know More about Augmentation Surgery
Posted on Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 at 11:17 amIn the handout of American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), performed in July the 12th, 2001, it was declared that 215,500 women went through augmentation surgery of the breast in 2000. So under these numbers ASPS considers the augmentation of breast to be the fourth in the list of the most commonly performed plastic surgeries for cosmetic purpose during the year 2000.
In spite of the fact that silicone breast implants were prohibited by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1992, nowadays a lot of women decide to have a breast plastic surgery in order to perform the augmentation of breast with the help of such implants. After the augmentation a lot of women have to suffer from various side effects. Among women with implants there’s a 21% growth of cancers in comparison with women of the same age but without implants. Remember, that if at least one of silicone breast implants ruptures, then you’ll never be able to get Health Insurance Coverage. Saline breast implants are known to leak and deflate more often than silicone breast implants, so woman needs to go through a breast plastic surgery over and over again to replace the deflated implants.
A study was published in the Lancet medical journal, where Dr Lori Brown of the FDA acknowledged that the rupture of implants, used in the augmentation surgery of the breast, happens much more often then it was expected earlier. What is more, the FDA, National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Boston University, where Dr. L. Brinton from NCI was a lead author, have performed the study of the death certificates of almost 8000 women, who went through the augmentation surgery and wore implants (silicone or saline), and of over 2000 patients who went through other plastic surgeries. According to it, patients with implants or after any other plastic surgery are much more often noticed to die from pneumonia, emphysema of lungs or lung cancer.
