Breast Implants Linked to Suicide By Marc Kaufman.
A series of studies has found a surprisingly high suicide rate among women who have had cosmetic breast implants, renewing the controversy about the procedure just as the Food and Drug Administration weighs whether to allow silicone gel implants back on the market.
Of course we don't know why yet, and it may be possible it's because the implants cause severe health problems, but I suspect it's because those who get them are more vulnerable. I wonder what the suicide stats are for cosmetic surgery in general.
