yup u read right. and i dont mean just for those whn are getting secondary surgery. all women can have them for reconstructive and women over 22 can get them for breast augmentation. as of friday 17 nov. fda lifted the ban. so now we have more choices. they have to do clinical trials for 40000. and of course u have to pay for surgery and the dr's fee. but they say sonething about monetary compensation. just thought i would share.

Yes plus they are also back in Canada too (which is the only other place that banned them).

they both decided to lift the ban at the same time?

No, Canada was the first. It was announced in Canada on 20 October.

I always thought they would get back eventually, as it seems that the evidence against them was always far from conclusive. Europe is more careful about these things and no country there ever banned them. I rest my case.
