Patients sometimes have concerns about the safety of silicone breast implants because of the attention they received in the media years ago. However, the FDA did approve their safety. In addition, no evidence has ever been found to link silicone breast implants to cancer, auto-immune deficiency disease, or any other illness. Ultimately, roughly 60-70 % of today’s breast augmentation patients choose silicone over saline. For reconstruction cases, they choose them 3 times more often.
