Who is a good candidate for silicone breast implants?
For cosmetic breast augmentation, silicone implants are approved for women aged 22 or older. For reconstructive surgery, silicone implants are approved for women of any age. Certain women should not undergo breast augmentation with silicone breast implants, including women with an active infection or untreated breast disease, women who are pregnant or nursing, or women with autoimmune diseases such as lupus or scleroderma.
