    Default FDA approval of cohesive gel silicone impants

    so what's the deal on this? the mentor website says that enrollment for their study is closed, and it's seems pretty much agreed that for first time ba's (not reconstructions) without chest wall abnormalities, asymmetry, lift done at the same time, etc. you can't get in the studies anyway.

    how long will it be until people can start getting co-gels?

    and please don't tell me about the search button. i've used it. thankyou.

    you can get them here. try inamed..i believe theirs has started again. also, you can get them as first time ba's...it's only the regular silicone that has the "special" issues

    you can get them only if you qualify. Under normal circumstances, most women don't.

    i thought canadian surgeons wouldn't do american patients. liability issues or something like that.

    so the "regular" silicone (which, from what i've read, is also cohesive, just more like liquid than like a gummy bear) is also restricted?

    One of my co-workers was approved for silicone gel implants because she had a bad case of asymetrical boobs. One was much larger than the other.

    hmmm... Inamed's website only mentions salines.
    I know an Allergan drug rep, so I'm going to hit her up for inside information.

    ok, by "cohesive" i mean "gummy bear implant"...it's VERY easy to qualify for the study for those here...but NOT for the "regular" silicone (the one's that were banned years ago).

    inamed has 2 different teardrop ones, which is nice. the dr that i will probably be going to here has just started up with those again. i can't wait!

    mentor's site says they've reformatted the "regular" silicone so it's now cohesive.... just much less so than the gummy bear kind. (if that makes any sense?) so it's not the same silicone that was banned. it's not a liquid, it's a silicone gel. but all their studies are closed.

    i saw on one of the implant sites a few photos were the stats were listed as silicone implants but trans-ax incisions. is that just a misprint? i thought silicone implants all required crease incisions.
