Plastic Surgery Study Questioned

August 24, 2007 -

According to a new study conducted on 3,527 Swedish women that was recently published in the New York Times, women with breast implants have an increased chance of suicide or deaths related to substance abuse.

However, many patients who have undergone the surgery, and board certified surgeons disagree with the findings.

Patient Success Stories

Sue and T.C., two women who recently underwent breast augmentation surgery, claim they are nothing but happy about their decision and their newly found confidence.

Both women insist that there is nothing upsetting, deranged, or depressing about having the operation; in fact, they claim they have the opposite feelings and are eager to show their new assets to their girlfriends to encourage them to undergo surgery too.

At 50, Sue wanted her chest to look more in proportion with the rest of her 5’9 frame, so she went from a 34B to a 34 double D and has no regrets.

T.C. is a 43-year-old wife and mother of two, who after enhancing herself to a C cup feels “happier than ever.”

Renowned Surgeon Weighs In

Dr. Sheldon Sevinor, a renowned surgeon who does about two breast augmentation surgeries weekly and has been on shows such as “The View” and “Oprah”, also disputes the study’s claims.

He says there is a reason similar studies haven’t shown the same results in American women.

However, he does claim that he has refused potential patients before because they have asked him not to inform their psychiatrist, something that Dr. Sevinor believes, speaks for itself.
