The two companies established permission to produce the implants, Allergan and Mentor, are both California-based.

They can make silicone implants as long as they are used for breast renovation to a certain age requirement. Patients seeking silicone breast augmentation must be ages 22 and older.

For additional health safety, the FDA also demands from that companies who produce silicone implants:
  Do a large post-approval study.
  Carry on the study for 10 years. 
  Continue laboratory studies to more characterize types of device failure. 
  Watch each implant in the event that health professionals and patients need to be informed of updated product information. 

The FDA also announces extra warnings:
  Breast implants are not lifetime mechanisms, and a woman most likely will need other surgeries on her breast at least once over her life span. 
  Lots of the changes to a woman's breast after implantation are permanent. 
  Break of a silicone gel-filled breast implant is most often silent, which means that frequently neither the woman nor her surgeon will know that her implants have ruptured.
  All women will require habitual Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) checkups over her lifetime to determine whether silent rupture has happened.
