Breast Implants Linked to Higher Suicide Rates
A new study has found that women with breast implants are 73 percent more likely to commit suicide than other women.
The data was meant to track correlations between implants and increased risk of cancer. The good news: Implants arent linked to a higher cancer rate. The bad news: Women with breast implants aren't happy campers compared to other women.
Though this study could not dig for the reasons, Morrison noted that other studies have found poorer self-esteem and elevated rates of depression and other psychiatric disorders among women who opt for breast augmentation.
It's not just implants, though. Face lifts, tummy tucks, butt lifts... other forms of plastic surgery are also linked to elevated suicide rates among women.
The study followed approximately 40,000 women who had plastic surgery over a 15-year period.
Does she look happy?
