Some years ago there were several lawsuits about breast implants and fibromyalgia. Even though this association has been disproven, it received enough publicity to frighten many people - and enrich many attorneys!
But it seems that certain kinds of implants, in rare instances, can cause a very rare and dangerous cancer. I'm not sure why this has not received the notice it should.
The FDA has received 414 reports of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma associated with breast implants, according to the latest numbers from the agency, which cover reports through September 2017. This was seen both with silicone and saline implants, but 90% of those were "textured".
So we really should be discouraging use of textured implants.
