Conclusion (the committee's words)
There is growing concern that a number of women are experiencing serious health impacts after receiving breast implants, with many reporting symptom improvements following explantation. While evidence of a definitive link between these symptoms and breast implants has not been established, this does not mean there is not a connection. (Conclusion, Paragraph 44)
