Posting to your comment about Dow Corning:
Hey, the plastic surgeons like it. Today my rheumatologist said, to my comment that plastic surgeons tell women silicone implants are safe, "some plastic surgeons will operate on a turnip". Maybe they also have stock in Dow. I at least added to this article that no studies on the long term rate or effect of rupture have been conducted - with all the Dow funded studies, and with 40+ years that silicone has been on the market, one would think this would have been possible. But only two MRI studies even purport to study "untreated" rupture at 10 years. The study that the plastic surgeon likes to tout has a statement in the body of the paper that points out the results are likely underestimated. Why? The women who removed their implants because of rupture were excluded from the study. Yikes. I can personally tell you what can happen 20+ years after implantation, and 5 years after rupture. Clearly, the plastic surgeons and Dow do not want to hear about this. And the FDA has decided it is "buyer beware".Jance 23:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC) Oh, you should read the "Breast implant" article that is now "locked" as an advertisement written by a plastic surgeon, who has misstated his own sources.Jance 23:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
