Are Silicon Breast Implants Safe?

Safety of Breast ImplantsSilicone Breast Implants: Mithali, a 29 year old mother of one, has always been conscious about her small breast size. She is tall, slim and good looking, but feels that she is unable to enjoy well fitted, fashionable clothes because of her relatively small breasts. She is considering breast implant surgery.

Women opt for breast augmentation (implants) for various reasons. Often, these reasons are very personal and unique to each woman. Women with smaller breast size or those who have lost their breast volume due to breastfeeding can greatly benefit from it. Women who have very small upper body relative to larger hips and lower body can balance their figure beautifully with breast implants. Size zero, which is otherwise fashionable, usually comes with the problem of flat chest. For them, breast enhancement allows to retain good body proportions by bringing the curves back.

According to Dr. Priti Shukla, Plastic Surgeon at Ambrosia Clinic, Indian women are increasingly embracing cosmetic surgery to get beautiful curves; yet, some are doubtful about the safety and outcome of breast implants. But once they are explained the facts, they go ahead with implants  and are most satisfied with the surgery. Dr. Shukla dispels the myths that exist about this procedure and helps you understand breast augmentation surgery better to retain good body proportions by bringing the curves back.
