Should Women Have Breast Implants Removed?
It was a story with a bit of irony, as well as ominous health warnings.
Crystal Hefner, the 30-year-old wife of Playboy magazine mogul Hugh Hefner, announced in a story in People magazine last month that she'd had her breast implants removed because they were making her sick.
