Introduction: Currently, there is overwhelming evidence to support the safety of silicone breast implants. The decision to obtain, maintain or remove breast implants is the patient's choice. If a patient chooses to remove breast implants, it is important to find a plastic surgeon certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. Objectives: The purpose of this article is to present the current state of scientific evidence related to the safety of silicone breast implants. Ongoing studies are strongly encouraged in all areas, from cancer detection to autoimmune disease, with the plastic surgeon (a) being responsible for the effort required to improve patient safety, awareness and education. Methodology: The term “Silicone Implant Illness” was searched on the Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Sciences indexing portals and 102 articles with the highest impact factor and citations were selected. Conclusion: To date, there are no concrete or evidence-based studies or peer-reviewed data on the formation of a new syndrome.
