Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Since the recent furor about breast implants, there has been a greater demand for information on this subject than ever before. Unfortunately, as Bruning points out, the research has been patchy at best. Her excellent book answers all the questions for which we have answers at this time in a straightforward style that will be easy for lay readers to understand. She describes the types of implants that have been used, the problems that have been discovered to date, and the risks involved in removal vs. leaving them in. For a woman contemplating implants, she describes current implant and transplantation technology. An excellent bibliography and list of information and support organizations are appended. Highly recommended for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breast Implants: Everything you need to know, March 26, 2004
By A Customer
I found this book to be the most comprehensive, current, and unbiased information on the subject of breast implants. I helped me make some very important decisions regarding my health and impending surgery.

I thank the author for her continued research on this subject. Many of us were sold untruthful information regarding implants years ago, and made decisions based on that. Many of us have had health issues since then.

Nancy keeps updating her books, adding any new information. She is one of the very few that empathizes with women who have found themselves in this health-threatening delemma. She stresses both the pros and cons of these surgeries.

I recommend this book to anyone who is considering having breast implant surgery, and also, to those who already have, and who will be needing removal or replacement.
