Made out of a common federally approved polymer, the implant is the first of its kind, based on a review of the literature, with modifications at the nanoscale that cause a reduction in the blood-vessel architecture on which breast cancer tumors depend — while also attracting healthy breast cells."

That is so dang cool I had to read it twice!

Implants are not just for stripping anymore! Those one would definitely be worth the money and then some.

Yeah, there are ways of dealing with cancer before there is cancer. Vitamin D and so forth. I'd have to go back and read some articles.

BTW, are they firm yet gentle?

Not to the cancer cells apparently! LOL. They suffocate them to death.

Of course there are various ways to try to prevent cancer but these things are amazing. And despite doing everything right your genetics still may bite you in the butt.

I have to wonder if getting these implants would prevent cancer at all though. If it attacks the cells of regrowth I would assume it attacks cells of the growth of cancer initially.

It would be nice since implants can make cancer hard to detect.

I haven't done the research, but is it possible that getting implants actually causes breast cancer either because of the implants exploding, leaking, etc. or the fact that you're being cut open and causing scar tissue, etc?

I'm very curious if anyone knows if implants increases the risk of breast cancer?

I wonder why people are so interested in telling other people what they should do with their money.

And why men assume the only reason women get cosmetic surgery has to do with attracting them.

Not a single study says anything of the sort.

I thought your post was very interesting. I thought you your comment in the science section might find it interesting. I took the liberty of getting you started.
