Breast Implants and Cancer: The Truth Revealed
In this episode of 🎙️ Secrets of the Scalpel, Dr. Ariel Ourian sits down with guest Josh Jacobson to address one of the most common concerns patients have.

Major manufacturers have removed textured implants from use, and modern practices prioritize safety and long-term outcomes.

Mammograms are still important — for overall breast health, not because of implants.
This is why understanding the difference matters.
Facts over fear. Education over headlines.
