Silicon Breast Implants Deemed Reasonably Safe!
Check out this article stating the FDA now deems silicon breast implants reasonable safe to use. The funniest parts of this are:
“Based on the totality of the evidence, the FDA believes that silicone gel-filled breast implants have reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness when used as labeled,” the agency said.
This is a loaded statement. The safety part I get.. But effectiveness?? And what is considered to be the effectiveness of implants?? And then, ‘when used as labeled’… I didn’t know there was a proper use of breast implants, much less a label.. Guess its not like those pesky labels on the mattress that you don’t want to cut..
The other interesting point the FDA makes is:
“Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer a woman has silicone gel-filled breast implants, the more likely she is to experience complications,” the FDA said.
