A member asked:
Hi docs, can you tell me if string breast implants are still available?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Because of safety concerns, complications, problems, and sometimes uncontrolled growth, these types of implants are banned in the United States and Europe. See a qualified plastic surgeon if you are interested in breast augmentation. Good luck!

Not advised: There was only one surgeon who truly popularized this technique and to the best of my knowledge, it is no longer performed nor recommended.
