I'm interested in the gummy bear implant but I'm 20. Do you have to be 22 to get implants?

There are two great options to consider: 1. IDEAL implants - these are newly released "hybrid implants" double lumen saline implants made to feel like silicone2. I will place silicone implants in patients under 22 yrs old but first have an informed consent and have them sign a waiver that they are aware that they are being used in "off label' FDA use. #IDEALimplants#breastaugmentation#breastimplants

The most important choice is not silicone.  It is whether the devices are appropriate.    Behind the muscle saline divides are very good options for someone in your position.In breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing
photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and
shape. Many times this simply raises
more questions. I will make measurements
and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes
that are reasonable for their body type and measurements.

Thank you for your question.  If you want breast augmentation then you should consider having saline breast implants placed underneath the muscle.  Unfortunately FDA guidelines require that you be 22 years old before having silicone gel breast implants.Although some surgeons are willing to do silicone gel breast implants off label for patients under 22 I do not recommend it as you will avoid the warranty of the breast implants.  Please read the link below for more information.
