Are silicone breast implants safe?

Special studies have been done and have determined that much higher levels of silicone have been found in cows’ milk and commercially available infant formula than are found in the breast milk of women with implants. The Institute of Medicine concluded that:
“There is no evidence that silicone implants are responsible for any major diseases of the whole body. Women are exposed to silicone constantly in their daily lives.”
For more information regarding the safety of silicone please refer to the Institute of Medicine Report (IOM) at: www.nap.edu.
