Do you have to be 22 to get silicone breast implants? Does it change depending on your state?

Sk95
I'm considering getting breast implants but I am 19 and recently heard you could only get silicone implants if you're 22. A few weeks later, I read about a 19 year old who got silicone implants. I'm confused and really don't want saline implants.
