There have been reports in literature of reported medical conditions in women with silicone gel-filled breast implants. Many of these conditions have been evaluated with no cause and effect relationship estabilished. There has been no conclusive evidence that silicone materials in breast implants increased the risk of developing breast cancer of connective tissue disease. Patients do need to be aware of these possible conditions. Please call our office for detail regarding these conditions at 915-541-1225.
