New Danish Study Confirms No Higher Rate of Connective Tissue Diseases in Women with Breast Implants

Denver Plastic Surgeon, Stephen Goldstein, M.D., said results of study confirm recent U.S. research.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) September 18, 2007 -- New research from the International Epidemiology Institute determines that breast implants are not related to connective tissue diseases.

The results of the study were published in the medical journal, Annals of Epidemiology.    

Stephen Goldstein, M.D., a board-certified plastic surgeon with Denver Face and Body, said the study confirms what recent U.S. research and numerous epidemiologic studies have demonstrated -- that breast implants are not associated with connective tissue diseases.

The nationwide study of Danish women with long-term cosmetic breast implants and other types of cosmetic surgery was an extension of a previous study. The new study extended the time by five years. The study followed the women from January 1977 through December 2001.

Hospitalization and outpatient data for connective tissue disease on women with breast implants and comparison groups were compared with those in the general Danish population. When compared with the general population, connective tissue diseases were not significantly elevated in women with breast implants.

The researchers concluded that the extended study further supported the consensus of epidemiologic research that proves that breast implants are unrelated to the development of connective tissue diseases.

The study also confirmed that there was no relation between breast implants and fibromyalgia.

A board-certified Denver plastic surgeon, Dr. Goldstein has more than 20 years of experience in plastic surgery. He also trains and lectures other surgeons nationally and internationally on procedures he has mastered.
