Where can I get off-label silicone implants? I'm 19 years old but probably won't be getting the implants until I'm 20. I'm perfectly healthy, I would just much rather have silicone implants than saline ones. Also, what is the biggest size for High profile silicone implants from Allegra?

Answer: Off label silicone implants? Silicone implants are available off-label for women under 22 and over 65. Any surgeon can use the impalnts off label if he/she chooses.I'm not sure what the largest implant size available is, but I would caution against just deciding to put the largest implant into your body. Discuss your breast size desires with a board certified plastic surgeon and let them advise you on the appropriate size to fit your frame. Very few women need any where near the largest size to reach their desired goals, and the larger implant may not even fit inside your frame if you have tight tissue.

Answer: Silicone Implants and the FDA Though the FDA has stated that women under 22 years of age cannot get silicone gel implants for cosmetic surgeries, this is a grey guideline an has no sound medical evidence to support the age restriction at all. They are allowed to be used in reconstructive purposes for any age, so what is really the difference? Using them in a patient younger than 22 is just an off label use, and does not void the warranty at all. Most plastic surgeons will utilize them in all age ranges for a cosmetic breast case if that is the implant that will work best for the patient. I hope this helps.
