Breast implants containing liquid silicon London, Apr.14 (ANI): A recent study in Australia has found that titanium-coated breast implants can prevent post-cosmetic surgery deformities in women.
The standard silicone implants react with breast tissue, making the growth stiff and painful. The process is called capsular conjecture.
According to doctors, a microscopic coating of titanium will stop this reaction, reducing the post operation malformation in women.
“The idea is the body sees the titanium, not the silicone, and it won’t react. There is a significant problem so it’s exciting to try to find ways to avoid it,” The Sun quoted study leader Dr Daniel Fleming, as saying.
Out of the 3,000 women enlisted by Australian cosmetic surgeons to test the implant, the results from the first 80 proved very positive.
About seven per cent of patients in Australia are ill due to the hardening or deformation of their breasts. (ANI)
This article is full of errors and can only be attributed to a basic lack of journalistic standards or maybe just plain laziness.
1. Silicone and silicon are two different things - a reporter or journalist should know the difference and which one applies to the story. It's embarrassing that an ordinary citizen needs to point out to a publication that by simply going to Dictionary.com you can find out the difference between silicone and silicon.

2. It is NOT capsular conjecture but capsular contracture. Or you can go to a medical dictionary and look up capsular contracture.
