Is it true that breast implants increase your chances of breast cancer?

No it is not: This question has been studied extensively. There is actually a suggestion that the presence of implants may allow earlier detection of breast cancer by self exam because the implants push the breast tissue out against the examiner's fingers. I am not aware of any evidence that implants increase the risk of breast cancer.

No: There is no evidence to date that breast implants increase the risk of breast cancer.

No: You still need to do self breast examination and annual mammograms (after age 40), but there is no link between implants and breast cancer.

No.: When large groups of women with breast implants are compared with large groups of women without breast implants, there is no difference in the number, size or types of breast cancer seen. When evaluating these studies, it is important to be certain the groups are matched for age and other known risk factors. Breast implants are used to reconstruct breasts after breast cancer.

No: Breast implants do not affect the rate of breast cancer, according to the most recent plastic surgery research. There is a slightly increased risk of alcl in women with silicone implants.

No: Statistically, women with breast implants have a lower incidence of breast cancer. This is thought to be more related to the fact that these women have less breast tissue rather than something as a result of the implant itself.
