Q: McGhan - Style 410 silicone filled breast implants

My PS is recommending to get the 410 silicone filled implants that are still in clinincal study by FDA.  He is one of the doctors participating in the study and says that the natural shape of the implant will look great on me.

Does  anyone had these implants?  if they are so good why the FDA has not approved them for everybody to use.

I was thinking to do silicon implants any way, but this seems to be a new option.

Hugs and all best wishes to everyone.

Sandy, I don't know anything about 410 silicone fitted implants, but I do know the FDA approval process is long, arduous, and complicated. It could be they'll be approved next month, or next year, or in 2 weeks... there's no telling. But if you trust your oncologist, and he recommends them, then I'd say go for it. Readers, have any of you had these implants? PJH
