As increased numbers of women line for breast augmentations, so too are the rumors that run rampant about the repercussions of breast implants. But here we are setting the record straight. Researchers focusing on Swedish and Danish women who sought out breast implants did not have higher instances or risks of developing breast cancer - as opposed to their non-implanted counterparts.

"The results, published in the International Journal of Cancer, add to evidence that silicone-gel breast implants pose no significant cancer risk to women. "We were able to present for the first time risk estimates for many cancer types with high statistical precision," said Loren Lipworth, of the International Epidemiology Institute in Rockville, Maryland"

In fact the research goes on to say that women who seek out breast implants are less likely to develop cancer's because they are aware of their beauty and health unlike many other Americans. These women tend to be more fit, have healthy relationships with the opposite sex and typically have children. Which is why the researchers say these women carry out very healthy and active lifestyles that limit the chances of developing breast cancer later in life.
