For some plastic surgeries there is an age limit that is established in order to provide the safest procedure with the best results. One of those procedures is breast augmentation with silicone breast implants. Patient safety is a priority for Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedAesthethics’ board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani.
Gummy Bear Breast Implants Under 22 years Old
“I am under 22 and was wondering if I would be able to get the gummy bear implants? I read that the age minimum for silicone is 22?”, a RealSelf user asked.
“You are correct that silicone implants are FDA approved for patients 22 years and older. You may have these implants as an off label use which will void their warranty, but can be done. You may very well be a saline candidate without this age restriction and may even be a candidate for a TUBA procedure without any visible scars. Please look to see a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in breast enhancement.”, Aristocrat’s board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Tehrani said.
