FDA Approves Return of Silicone Breast Implants

Mentor and Inamed, the two major producers of breast implants, have been given approval by the FDA to market their silicone gel breast implants in the United States.

In the FDA's statement announcing the approval, Daniel Schultz, MD, the FDA Director, Center for Devices and Radiological Health stated that the FDA has "reviewed an extensive amount of data from clinical trials of women studied for up to four years, as well as a wealth of other information to determine the benefits and risks of these products. The extensive body of scientific evidence provides reasonable assurance of the benefits and risks of these devices."

Silicone breast implants are the most studied medical device in history. Now women in the US will have access to an implant that women in 60 countries around the world have. The FDA will continue to gather information about the safety and effectiveness of these implants.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons will also continue to offer their assistance to the conditions set forth by the FDA related to physician and patient education. One comprehensive example of this assistance is a joint Web site, www.breastimplantsafety.org, which offers objective and science based information regarding saline and silicone breast implants.
