Breast implant safety resource

Later this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration may consider approval of silicone breast implants for the first time since 1991. But the FDA could base its decision on as little as two years' worth of safety data, according to the advocacy group Command Trust Network, despite the fact that complications from silicone implants may not occur for several years. Command Trust’s web site includes a bibliography on the scientific evidence for breast implant safety. A starting place is the FDA’s "The Breast Implant Consumer Handbook."
