- bennylope 15y agoI am not a breast implant expert, but if I recall, silicone fell out of favor due to fears connecting the implants to mysterious immune-related diseases. However no connection between silicone breast implants and these diseases was ever borne out.
- SomeCallMeTim 15y agoThat was alleged, but IIRC, the studies showed that there was no toxicity, and that the women with leaking silicone implants didn't have a higher incidence of problems than other women their age.
