So last September I went to a surgeon and already paid $500 deposit to get my surgery on May 24. Today I went to another surgeon & he talked about implant guarantee, but because I want silicone and I'm under 22 I can't have the guarantee, but the other surgeon I left the $500 deposit didn't talked to me about that. Now I don't know if to get the surgery on May 24 of this year or wait for october of 2023 when I turn 22.

Answer: Implant warrantee Your surgeon is correct. The FDA released silicone implants for use in patients 22 and older. While some place silicone implants on younger patients, the implant companies cannot acknowledge their use in younger patients thus unable to offer you a warrantee.

Answer: Silicone breast implants if under age 22 Hi and welcome to our forum!In the United States, the FDA has discouraged the use of silicone breast implants if one is under the age of 22 as the studies utilized to develop safety information only included patients age 22 and older. Silicone breast implants can be used for "reconstructive" purposes in younger patients (and is often used for augmentation). Saline implants are not recommended below the age of 18 as the breasts may not yet be fully developed.If you wish silicone implants and wish to have the advantage of implant rupture coverage from the manufacturer, I would recommend waiting until you reach age 22.Best wishes...
