pubmed:abstractText
Connective tissue diseases have been described in patients who have had silicone augmentation mammoplasty. Several possible mechanisms of pathogenesis are postulated. Although otherwise indistinguishable from other connective tissue disease, these patients may experience improvement or remission following implant removal. Current data suggest that the risk of disease after silicone breast augmentation is less than one percent. A large well-designed epidemiologic study will be needed to confirm this association.
