Breast Implant/Suicide Link in the News Again
The breast implant/suicide link is in the news again, this time with conclusive evidence that women with breast implants tend to be at a higher risk for suicidal tendencies than women without breast implants.
The reason for the suicide risk is still fuzzy, but several studies have come to similar conclusions recently that there is indeed a clear link. Some scientists and researchers believe this link is explained by higher rates of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem among women who tend to undergo the breast augmentation procedure.
Also supporting that theory, another recent study found that women who received breast augmentation surgery/breast implants were more likely to have a history of psychiatric hospitalization and other mental disorders than those who underwent other types of plastic surgery. Hmm… interesting..
