This means ruptures can be \u201csilent,\u201d requiring imaging like MRI or ultrasound to detect.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this added complexity and the long-term monitoring recommended for silicone implants, the FDA sets the bar higher at 22+ for cosmetic silicone augmentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Legal Age vs. Right Age for Breast Implants<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meeting the minimum age requirement does <\/span><b>not<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> automatically mean you\u2019re a good candidate for breast augmentation.
