very dangerous. I have seen silicone implants removed from women after 10 years. They were all black and all had linked. Nasty stuff. Why don't they stick with salene (not sure of the spelling). If the implant bursts, it'll desolve into the womans system.

I don't know how many men here have felt implants... they do NOT feel at all like regular breasts. The ones I felt were all hard or semi-hard. They ended up being the only thing hard in the room.

Silicone is used for the specific reason that it is very stable (non-reactive), inorgantic (no nutrients for viri' nor bacteria). The type of silicone chosen was not happen-stance, it went through extensive toxicology studies, and has been used in various forms in humans ofr decades (hips, knees, artifical lung prosthetics, ect). The silicone is in an oxygen free environment, no ultra-violet rays can get to it, and a pretty constant temperature of 98.6 degrees. So, if it turned 'black' what do you suppose it reacted with??

The saline implants STILL have a silicone shell..

A bogus opinion that is not backed up by objective evidence.

Studies comparing women with and without implants showed no increased risk of systemic disease. Of course, that was after the hysterics had convinced the idiot Kessler at FDA to remove them and after innocent companies were bankrupted.
