GET A SECOND OPINION – MEDICAL ADVICE ON IMPLANTS
On the internet and in social media in particular, there are always reports and messages implying that implants can have serious health consequences or even trigger diseases. There are also numerous women who already wear silicone implants and would like to have them replaced, but are unsettled by the reports.
Do breast implants actually contribute to a potential health risk? Do they even make you ill? There are indeed symptoms and medical factors that can occur due to the insertion of implants. In addition to the complications of surgery, these include the rare lymphomatous form of cancer. This is associated with breast implants. It is characterised in particular by sudden swelling six to eight years after the implants have been inserted. Fortunately, if diagnosed early, the disease is easily manageable.
Other women complain of chronic complaints (Breast Implant Illness), such as tiredness, dizziness, listlessness, etc., which are associated with breast implants. These are associated with breast implants. This frequently concerns products from Allergan, so-called ‘textured implants’, which were long among the most popular forms of implants but have not been produced for years.
We at the ETHIANUM also work with silicone implants. Especially in the areas of reconstructive breast surgery and aesthetic surgery. However, we remain critical and extremely careful when it comes to choosing the right products.
In addition, we are always available to answer any questions or uncertainties you may have. Because we at the ETHIANUM consider it our medical duty to inform and advise you.

Prof. Dr Matthias Reichenberger, Prof. Dr Holger Engel and Prof. Dr Günter Germann, the experienced experts at the certified Breast Centre of the ETHIANUM Clinic Heidelberg, are available to answer your questions and concerns as medical advisors, even if you have not previously been treated at the ETHIANUM.
We are of course available for any follow-up treatment that may be necessary. However, this is not the main focus here; our first priority is to provide you with the most objective advice possible and to clarify your legitimate concerns and questions about breast implants. However, if you would like a corrective procedure after a failed cosmetic operation, you will find all the information you need here.
