Silicone Goodness...or Badness?
Fourteen years after they were pulled from North American markets, silicone gel breast implants are making a return to Canada.
Health Canada announced Friday it has issued licences for two silicone gel implants, lifting restrictions on their use effective immediately. Mentor Corp. and Allergan Inc. make the two approved products.
The manufacturers had to agree to continue long-term study of the safety of the devices and to develop new product labelling after holding focus group sessions with Canadian doctors and women who have the devices implanted.
I can understand how much people are about their looks. Yes, many people will go to great extremes and sometimes into massive financial debt in order to look their best. But will people risk their health and life by stuffing silicone into their bodies considering all the proven health risks and possible deaths?
I think someone in the government has been seriously paid off here. I don't understand how decisions like this could be made.
Plastic surgeons applauded the decision.
Well, um yeah. Of course they will applaud the decision! They make BILLIONS of dollars on breast implants every year!
