1. In 2008, over 10.2 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures were
performed in the United States and according to statistics overall number of cosmetic
procedures has increased 162 percent since the collection of this statistics first began.
The most frequently performed surgical procedure was found is breast
augmentation. But breast augmentation procedure is not the only type of breast surgery
which is overused by women, but there are also breast lift and breast reduction surgical
procedures.
In this case of overusing plastic surgery, the controversial question would be,
Are these kinds of surgeries a magical way of having a perfect body with no
downsides to the procedures?
Will these kinds of surgeries change women’s lives for the better or worse in terms
of their health, sex and comfort?
In fact, Breast plastic surgeries can negatively affect the quality of life for women. It can
bring discomfort, create bad health, disrupt sexual life or it can even threaten their lives.
Breast plastic surgery is not as small a surgery as many people think it is. For example,
breast augmentation is performed by inserting a breast implant behind breast tissue or
above the breast muscle. Implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with varying
designs, in a range of materials. There are to kind of breast implants material: saline
breast implants and silicone gel breast implants And they can be placed in different
positions through a variety of incision locations.
This means that these materials which are used to augment the breast have direct
contact with the muscle and the skin, which can cause numerous complications

2. Many studies of saline breast implants and silicone gel breast implants conducted by
implant manufacturers in request from FDA. And these studies have shown that many
reconstruction patients experienced complications within the first three years. And this
chart describes the percentages in types of complications experienced after the
reconstruction surgery:
In addition to this, in general almost half of first-time augmentation patients
experienced at least one local complication such as pain, infection, hardening, or the need for
additional surgery. Also, the Augmentation patients with silicone breast implants experienced
:complications within the first three years as follows
Besid that, two years after the surgery, augmentation patients with silicone gel
breast implants often suffer from increasing health symptoms than they had before
surgery. For example, health symptoms that were substantially increased in numbers of
augmentation patients are fatigue, generalized pain, joint problems, and muscle
.symptoms, neurological symptoms and morning stiffness
Beside all these complications that occur sometime after the surgery, surgical risks
are highest immediately around the time of surgery. These include the risks from
anesthesia, infection, and hematoma such as blood collecting around an implant. All of
them can range from mild to severe. However, the complications, which occur
afterward, can require additional surgery later, which will have similar risks. Patients
may need to face these surgical risks several times if they need surgery to correct implant
.problems or have broken or damaged implants that need to be replaced with new ones

3. In fact, Many women who have implants live in fear of the implants breaking. All
breast implants will eventually break. Studies of silicone breast implants suggest that
most implants last 7 to12 years, but some break during the first few months or years,
while others last more than 15 years. There is a finding by a FDA study that most women
had at least one broken implant within 11 years and the likelihood of rupture increases
every year. The broken implants have numerous complications on women’s bodies and
the only way to avoid these complications is to remove them. Silicone gel in implants
can break down to liquid silicone at normal body temperatures, and there are reports of
silicone leakage and migration from implants to the lymph nodes and other organs.
.Liquid silicone can migrate to the lungs, liver, or other organs
Women who have implants sometimes decide to have them removed because of
broken implants, complications, or disappointment with how they look or feel or
concerns about the long-term health risks. Some surgeons discourage patients from
removing their implants, and the reason behind this discouragement is that surgeons
know that some patients will be very unhappy with their appearance after the implant is
removed. In reality, women with ruptured silicone implants often lose breast tissue as
part of the removal surgery. If silicone has leaked into the breast tissue, the resulting
removal surgery may be similar to a mastectomy.

4. what if a woman needs to get her implants removed? . In reality, as part of the
removal surgery, women often lose breast tissue. And the resulting removal surgery may
be similar to a mastectomy. Removal can be much more complicated and expensive than
the original surgery,
Beside the risks, breast implants can cause diseases or illnesses including auto-
immune diseases and cancer. For example, a study of women who had silicone gel breast
implants for at least seven years found that those with leaking implants were significantly
more likely to report fibromyalgia, a painful autoimmune disease. (9) The risk of
fibromyalgia remained even after statistically controlling for patient's age, implant age,
and implant manufacturer. These researchers also found that women with leaking silicone
implants were significantly more likely to report a diagnosis of at least one of the
following painful and debilitating diseases:
Women not only lose their health by undergoing such breast surgeries, but they also
disrupt their sexual lives as well as theirmotherhood. In fact, women losing their nipple
sensitivity and having painfully sensitive nipples are common local complications of such
surgery. Furthermore, some women are dissatisfied with the cosmetic results of breast
implants, because their breasts look or feel unnatural or asymmetrical, or they can hear a
"sloshing sound" from saline-filled implants. Problems like these can interfere with
sexual intimacy.

Furthermore, breast surgery disrupts women’s motherhood. Mothers with any kind
of breast surgery, including breast implant surgery, are at least three times as likely to
have an inadequate milk supply for breastfeeding. In addition, it is found that the
offspring born and breastfed after the mother had breast implants had higher levels of a
toxic form of platinum in their blood than offspring born before the breast implants.
In conclusion, breast surgery risks outweigh the benefits, and it can destroy or
change women’s lives for the worse. Consequently, authorities’ responsibilities are to
protect these women from being involved in such surgeries and to distribute the
awareness among the women to improve their understanding and change their way of
.thinking about these kinds of surgeries
