The recent article by Villeneuve et al., which reported an increased suicide rate among women who received breast implants or other cosmetic surgery compared with the general population, is timely and important. Four previous studies have also reported increased suicide rates among women who received breast implants for augmentation purposes. The reasons for this association are unclear. As noted by Villeneuve et al., some studies found that women with breast implants who commit suicide are more likely to have had psychotherapy and more likely to have lower self-esteem and self-confidence, increased levels of depression, and an increased prevalence of mental illness as measured by psychiatric hospitalizations.
