I live in Ohio and one of my friends told me there’s a law here that you can’t get silicone until you’re 22. Can’t I just sign a waiver that takes away that warranty and get silicone?

Answer: Silicone Implant at 19 Thank you for your question. I do have patients under the age of 22 who choose to have silicone implants, and you are correct, you will not be eligible for the implant warranty. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Implant Age Recommendations The FDA has recommendations (age guidelines) for the use of saline and silicone implants. These recommendations state that saline implants can be safely used in patients 18 years or older and 22 years or older in the case of silicone. These recommendations are not law and are based upon the age of patient populations which were studied in initially evaluating the safety of the devices.
