Silicone Breast Implants are Back

After 14 years of intense research and scrutiny, Silicone Breast Implants are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are now available to anyone over the age of 22.

In 1992, silicone breast implants were taken off of the U.S. market over concerns that they may increase the chances of disease such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome among others. Since then, numerous major studies have shown that there is no increased risk of disease and that the implants are safe.

"Silicone breast implants were never taken off the market in Europe and have demonstrated that they are safe." says Dr. Cruise, board certified plastic surgeon. "Still, I believe the FDA did the right thing back in 1992. Whenever there is a safety concern the first thing we should do is take the product off the market and perform in depth research so that no one is harmed." This is exactly what happened as silicone breast implants became the most researched and scrutinized medical device in the U.S.

The studies on silicone implants will continue even as they are available to the public and the data accumulated over the past 14 years will continue to be evaluated. "Silicone implants are wonderful when used in the right person. The approval allows me to offer my patients a choice between silicone and saline," says Dr. Cruise. "Many of my patients come to me wondering which implants are best for them."

To help patient's understand better which implants to choose, Dr. Cruise developed a list of questions each woman considering implants should read.
