Are Silicone Breast Implants Legal for a 21 Year Old?

August 1, 2009
Asked By:rokkon in St. Louis, MO

I am 21 years old and I previously asked a question about where I could go to get Silicone Breast Implants. Some doctors told me that it is illegal in the U.S. while others told me that it is legal but I would not be under the implant warranty.I want to know which is right. If it is illegal then obviously I will not do it. However, if I can get them now, even if without the warranty, I will.Thanks for your time, Sara
