DOES SILICONE PROTECT FROM CANCER?

Although silicone does not have a direct protective effect against breast cancer, it is possible that it may contribute to the early detection of breast cancer because women who have silicone implants undergo more frequent check-ups or have breast imaging performed for pre-operative control purposes.

While silicone implants don't have a direct protective effect against breast cancer, they may contribute to the early detection of breast cancer, as women implanted with silicone implants undergo more frequent checkups or undergo breast imaging for preoperative checkups.

Furthermore, while it may seem counterintuitive, there are studies showing a lower incidence of breast cancer in women with silicone implants. Women who pay attention to their cosmetic surgery are also more mindful of their general health (weight, exercise, diet, etc.). In this case, the protective factor isn't the silicone itself, but rather the lifestyles of women who pay attention to their cosmetic surgery.
