Breast Implant Information Society

Originally designed in the early 1960’s, breast implants provide a realistic substitute for natural breast tissue, making them a popular option for women requiring reconstructive surgery and for those seeking to enhance their bust for cosmetic reasons. Yet these medical devices have often attracted negative media coverage, portraying them in a way that is frequently misleading, inaccurate and often quite disturbing. This maze of conflicting advice and information has resulted in many myths and misconceptions, and causes unnecessary worry amongst women.
