Now we have not written so much for a few months, we thought that something might happen in Iceland about the information on silicone and saline implants, we have been waiting for brochure for woman that are thinking about to have breast implant but nothing has happened, it seems that this is not so important in our country there some silicone implant is not banned and saline implants are also used here. We think that this is not good enough that our country does not have even 1 brochure for woman. 

About the soya implant it was in the newspaper information that it has been banned but no information how woman could get information, the plastic surgeons in Iceland did not use this kind of implants, but woman from Iceland might have gone to other country and got who knows so our group thought that these information should also be here for the woman if some Icelandic woman had got it, but so sorry no information. 

We are not so isolated that we do not hear what is happening, but the media is not interesting about writing about this type of news, Diana Zukerman wrote to one of our t.v. station and informed them about the silicone implants but they did not bring seems interring, so this is hard for us to try to inform woman what is happening, not only the woman but the people in our country, we can tell you one little story about one of our director of our biggest supermarket was asked by a program leader in one of our t.v. station if he would be able to sell silicone implants in his supermarket would he do it, and the director said yes, so it does not matter here in our country even though all this information is in other country then they do not get to our country because it seem closed for information about implants. 

We would like to tell you special if there is someone reading Swedish, Norwegian, or Danish there is a information in our skynary WebPages, that is written in Norwegian from a book that was written there few years ago about silicone implants, they are doing a really good work in Norway we are in touch with the group there, and it is much more information and the media is open for everything there, that we think is wonderful we wish we could say the same thing. 

And we wish that our healthcare would also be more interesting about what really is happening with implants. 

Otherwise everything is like before we here more about woman that are not satisfied with not getting any information and they can not find any good information in Iceland because it is not all that read other launghes then Icelandic, we got a WebPages at our net doctor but it is so much to find there about implants for woman that are thinking about getting a implants, like information before getting a implants kind how long do the implants last, the risk and we could go further but we like to see a very good information in Icelandic for the woman. 

Until next time have a good summer and take care in the sun, do not know when our next page will come but hopefully next time we hope that we can bring you some good news about the brochure.
