TAMPA, FL, December 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Breast implants should, ideally, be a lifelong solution. In some instances they are. In others, implants may rupture or be impacted by other defects over time, requiring their replacement.
Breast implants, like all medical devices, are not intended by their manufacturers to last forever. New breast implants have the potential of lasting for ten or more years, but replacing breast implants may eventually become a necessity for all women who have had breast augmentation.
Implant Rupture
Breast implant rupture is exactly what it sounds like. One of both of your breast implants may rupture or deflate due to various factors including trauma, capsular contracture, or simple wear and tear. Ruptures in saline implants are easier to detect as they tend to deflate at a much faster rate. If you have silicone implants, ruptures may not be detected until you have an MRI. Often, silicone ruptures are detected during breast cancer screening.
If your implant ruptures, there is no reason to despair. Your plastic surgeon can simply remove the ruptured implant and replace it with a new one. Neither saline nor silicone have been proven to have adverse health effects when implants rupture, but swift replacement can help ensure a continuation of your aesthetic results.
Implant Longevity
There is no set amount of time an implant will last. Some implants last for twenty years, others for three. How long your breast implants last will be unique to your situation. Some plastic surgeons recommend replacing implants every ten years. Others, however, advise their patients to wait until when, or if, there is a problem. Your plastic surgeon will make this recommendation based on the particular needs of your body.
If you live in or around Tampa, Clearwater, or St. Petersburg, Florida and would like to learn more about breast augmentation or have questions about breast implants, please visit the website of Gayoso Plastic Surgery for additional information at http://gayosoplasticsurgery.com.

Informed Consent

How Do I Legally Prove Who is at Fault for an Accident?
2012-12-29
Proving liability in motor vehicle accidents is seldom as black and white as we'd like to believe. Even those that seem straight forward such as rear-end collisions may involve multiple parties and have more factors than you can count.
The police may make an assessment of the scene, but their information can be incomplete or based on faulty details. This same information can be manipulated by insurance adjustors who will be looking for ways to save their company money. The last person you want to rely on for an accurate assessment of an accident is an insurance adjustor, ...
Car Accidents: Distracted Driving in South Carolina
2012-12-29

Research shows that some of these distractions cause larger impairment than drunk driving; however, according to the Strategic Highway Safety Plan's website, over 7 million ...
Study Examines Link Between DES Exposure and Rare Cancer

According to a study published this year, women who were exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) while they were in their mother's womb have an elevated risk of developing a rare cervical and vaginal cancer.

Employer Liability for Discrimination Committed by Supervisors
2012-12-29
Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits many types of discrimination in the workplace; for instance, it forbids racial discrimination. But, not only does Title VII protect employees from the discrimination of their employers, the United States Supreme Court has also said it protects employees from discrimination perpetrated by employers' "agents" - which includes supervisors according to the Supreme Court.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that federal courts now know employers can be held vicariously liable for the discriminatory acts of supervisors, ...
