Health symptoms and cosmetic silicone breast implants: A retrospective cohort study
Women with cosmetic SBIs had increased odds of developing health symptoms after implantation compared to those before implantation and to women without SBIs. These results suggest an association between health symptoms and cosmetic SBIs that needs further research to explore whether there is causality or residual confounding.
