B Lite implants contain glass or plastic microspheres (commonly used material in plastics used in car parts to remove weight). Why didn't any of these "cutting edge", very educated people site this technology advancement and that it just isn't currently approved for use in the US? When I talk to PS surgeon friends (in Cali and FL)..I'm told that the push is for larger implants...Why wouldn't a lighter weight version be a huge improvement for this fast growing market?

Answer: Implants In the USA, doctors will use the implants that are FDA approved. There is as long history concerning the safety of these implants in women. Just because something works well in a car does not mean it will work well in the human body. In the meantime, animal testing can be done to see what reactions will occur with this product. Other products have been tried with less favorable results. Plastic surgeons don't want a repeat of the 90's.

Answer: B-lite implants Having just come back from an international aesthetic plasti csurgery meeting in Tokyo, I saw a few different breast implant innovations that have not yet made it through the FDA to be offered to patients in the USA. The be -light implant which adds air to the silicone making it weigh less certainly seems like a great idea. Since this silicone gel does not yet exist in the United States, this company may need to go through a PMA or premarket approval which may take many years and cost millions of dollars. Should you want this technology today you may have to travel to Europe or the far east. Best of luck.
