ASPS Studies Re Evaluate Psychological Benefits And Health Concerns Of Silicone Breast Implants
Plastic
surgeons are re-evaluating past scientific findings and developing new
knowledge about the effects of silicone breast implants. A recent
supplement to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery(R) (PRS), the official
medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), sheds
new light on the psychological impact and health concerns of silicone
breast implants.
Body Image
One review of important recent studies refuted a common perception -
women who want breast augmentation do not suffer from lower overall body
image than other women.
"Breast augmentation patients do not have a poorer overall self-image,
nor are they more self-critical and preoccupied with their appearance than
other women," said Mary McGrath, MD, ASPS Member Surgeon and study author.
"It appears it is their significant dissatisfaction with their breasts that
serves as the motivation for surgery, not a poor overall body image."
The positive effect of breast augmentation on women's thoughts and
feelings is also limited to their breasts. After surgery, they report being
less embarrassed about their breasts and spending less time feeling upset
about and camouflaging their breasts.
Cancer Risk
While some studies have raised concerns about the potential link
between silicone breast implants and breast cancer, others have suggested
the implants could cause other types of cancer (cervical, vulvar, lung,
etc). A National Cancer Institute (NCI) review of past epidemiologic
studies showed little support for an increased risk of cancer among breast
implant patients.
"At present, there is no convincing evidence that breast implants alter
the risk of cancer," said Louise Brinton, Ph.D., NCI, and study author.
"The few increases in risk that have been noted in studies appear to be
largely attributable to lifestyle characteristics of the women, such as
smoking, rather than the implants."
Effect on Breast feeding
Despite the overwhelming advantages of breast-feeding, some women with
silicone breast implants may fear silicone could be passed on to their
child, possibly affecting growth and development. However, according to a
study, that measured silicon as an indicator of silicone, the levels of
silicon found in lactating mothers with implants, as compared to lactating
mothers without implants, was not significantly different.
"Our findings suggest there is no difference in silicone levels in the
breast milk of women with silicone breast implants than in the breast milk
of women without implants," said John Semple, MD, ASPS Member Surgeon and
study author.
More than 329,000 breast augmentations were performed in 2006,
according to the ASPS. For the first time since ASPS began collecting
statistics in 1992, breast augmentation was the top cosmetic surgical
procedure performed.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons is the largest organization of
board-certified plastic surgeons in the world. With more than 6,000
members, the Society is recognized as a leading authority and information
source on cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. ASPS comprises more
than 90 percent of all board-certified plastic surgeons in the United
States. Founded in 1931, the Society represents physicians certified by The
American Board of Plastic Surgery or The Royal College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Canada.
