内容説明

Doubts over the safety of silicone gel implants have left many unanswered questions and women are now demanding complete, straightforward answers. This study examines how and why safety concerns were first covered up by implant makers and even plastic surgeons. It details the safest techniques now available to women - even for those who already have implants and want to have them replaced with a safer type. The authors also provide practical information about choosing the right doctor and making the most informed choices, as well as explaining what women should expect at each stage of breast reconstruction and enlargement.
