Dear James,
The silicone implants used for testicular replacement as well as breast enlargement have been removed from the market by the manufactor Dow-Corning. This removal resulted from litigation primarily involving patients with breast implants. These patients were experiencing complications related to leakage of the silicone material into the surrounding tissue and the blood stream resulting in an auto-immune like illness.
Autoimmune diseases result from the body
