Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Like Nancy Bruning's Breast Implants: Everything You Need To Know ( LJ 9/15/92), this volume explains how breast implants can cause illness, what research has and has not been done, and the risks and benefits associated with their removal. Dr. Vasey, with the University of South Florida School of Medicine, is much more detailed in his analysis of the controversy over silicone and the culpability of manufacturers, plastic surgeons, and the Food and Drug Administration. He includes comments from women with silicone-associated disease, some of whom were totally disabled for years before being properly diagnosed. A fascinating look at a troubling subject, this will be of interest to scholars and ethicists as well as to the general reader.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Discredited,
This review is from: The Silicone Breast Implant Controversy: What Women Need to Know (Hardcover)
This book came out before the epidemiological studies that showed that it is very very unlikely that silicone breast implants increase the risk of connective tissue disorders of the breast. It did come out around the time of the law suites, however.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Not Discredited,
This review is from: The Silicone Breast Implant Controversy: What Women Need to Know (Hardcover)
Actually, it is those "epidemiological studies" that were deeply flawed. Those studies, unbelievably, only included women who have had their implants for three years. Yup, you read that right. Most women do not start having serious health problems for 7-10 years after implantation. There are in fact many well-designed studies that clearly demonstrate terrible health problems directly associated with breast implants. Anyone thinking of getting them should do their own research, starting with this book.
