Proceso explains ASIA syndrome, the disease that afflicted the beloved Puerto Rican journalist. Dominican plastic surgeon Orlando Vargas Almonte described what Bárbara Bermudo went through.

«Foreign elements, such as silicone and vaccines, present in the body, are what cause the body to react and produce cells to defend itself and act against the same organism,» added Orlando Vargas Almonte, stating that there is no scientific evidence to show that breast implants could cause breast cancer, according to Proceso.

«There is a table that defines the criteria for diagnosing this syndrome associated with the use of silicone,» said the plastic surgeon. He added if it is found that there are lesions associated with the implant, it should be removed immediately, noting that in very mild cases, it is not necessary to remove the breast implants.
