Non-FDA approved Breast Implants

Buyer beware! The FDA, although occasionally criticized, makes recommendations to physicians on the practice of medicine, but does not mandate how we can practice medicine (FDA approves Botox for Glabellar wrinkles, but physicians can treat patient's crow's feet and forehead in an off-label fashion). However, the FDA scrutinizes medical devices used by physicians in the US for SAFETY...and they do a very good job of researching and critically evaluating devices. If these imp more

Off-label or unapproved breast implants

Why would you get implants that are not approved in this country? The risk of using an illegal or grey-market product vs. some theoretical unproven advantage just does not make sense. Stick with a board certified plastic surgeon with considerable experience and great credentials.

Cereform implants are produced by a company located in the North of France. They are not however FDA approved for use here in the U.S. so you need to be very careful should you choose to go that route. If you are U.S. based and a surgeon is offering to use these you should seek another surgeon immediately. If you are based in Europe, again I caution you to be very careful. The FDA puts medical devices through rigorous testing for safety and if they haven’t been approved yet you are... more

There are only two companies allowed to sell implants here in the US and even they can not sell all of the implants they make here. The FDA sets a very rigorous process in place to monitor safety and citizen protection from medical devices. The implants you are asking about are from a French Company that are not available here in the US. I would recommend you be careful about getting something that is not FDA approved. Many times we in the US complain about having to wait for FDA... more

Not at all familiar

If you are not getting Mentor or Allergan implants from a doctor performing breast implant surgery in the US, run out as fast as possible. These two companies are the only ones with implants approved by the FDA. No board certified plastic surgeon would consider placing any other implant than these two. Where do they make Cereform implants?

As stated, the implants FDA approved here in the USA are made by Allergan and Mentor. Unless you are part of some sort of research protocol or are headed overseas, I am not sure why this brand is even an option for you. Be sure that you are seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and as always, a second opinion never hurt anyone. Good luck, Dr. P in Chicago.
