Well, I don't know much about the medical side of breast cancer, but I will tell you that I saw a documentary that doctors say that having breast implants will decrease or less likely cause women to have breast cancer.

Be sure you have a second opinion before you decide to make such a decision as having breast implants. Bye.

As it is there is no chance of getting cancer due to implants. But Doctors recommend that women with breast implants have mammograms. However, according to the FDA, pressure on the breast (compression) during mammography can cause implant rupture. In 2004, Brown et al reported that the FDA had received dozens of reports of implants rupturing or leaking during mammography.

Breast implants also can interfere with the accuracy of mammograms because the implant appears as a solid white shape, obscuring tumors above or below. Specific mammogram techniques have been developed to ensure that as much breast tissue as possible is examined in the woman with implants. This requires taking extra images, called displacement views, which expose the woman to more radiation. In 2004, Miglioretti and her colleagues published a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicating that 55% of breast tumors were not initially detected on mammograms for women with implants, even though the extra images were used. This compares to about 30% of tumors that were not initially detected for women who did not have breast implants. These tumors were subsequently detected in later mammograms.

In addition to making tumors more difficult to detect, implants cause "false positive" results when extensive scarring and calcium deposits mimic the appearance of cancer, making the deposits difficult to distinguish from tumors on a mammogram. Calcium deposits may be felt as modules or bumps under the skin around the implant. Biopsy may be necessary to determine whether these are cancerous.

Ultrasound and MRIs can be used to detect breast cancer instead of mammograms, but this adds to the cost of screening and probably would not be covered by health insurance.

Persons with Heriditary histry of Breast cancer are advised not to have implants. If you deide to have implant before doing so have mammograms done to ensure the disease is not pre-exsisting.

No. But breast implants have been linked to a whole host of other issues. Try doing some internet searches on the perils & dangers of breast implants for more information.

No research has shown this to be so. The only danger in the past when silicone implants were used was that the implants might rupture and might cause an autoimmune disease.
