Are silicone implants as safe as saline?
The most recent studies have consistently provided reassuring evidence that silicone gel does not represent a measurable health risk. The newer, cohesive gel implants decrease the likelihood that the gel could spread or migrate in the case of implant rupture. The currently available cohesive silicone gel implants have been approved by Health Canada since 2001 and have been used safely in many other countries for more than 10 years.
